Six critically acclaimed albums in, Jesca Hoop’s most recent offering Order of Romance is her most intricate and finely balanced album to date, one that draws on classic song writing, recalling anything from Gershwin to Paul Simon, but creating something that is unmistakably, indelibly Jesca Hoop.
Order of Romance is fruitful marriage of song craft and arrangement, brimming with a cinematic charm, vocal prowess and lyrical wit that signify a new chapter full of new life for an artist who knows her mind, her heart and voice well enough to trust them in uncharted territory. It is a complete work and effervescent culmination of Hoop’s life long practice of singing and the mastery of song.
Tour support is hot springs. Born out of a restless urge to disrupt the humdrum of everyday life — hot springs is a sonic antidote to the mundane. With a mischievous spirit and a love for the unexpected, Manchester-based band leader Rachel Rimmer crafts songs that twist and turn like a fever dream, blending groovy rhythms, off-kilter riffs, and lush, dreamy vocals into something equal parts playful and poignant. With alternative folk intimacy and art-rock spirit – hot springs invites listeners into a world where melodies captivate and structures misbehave. It’s music that dances between chaos and charm, with an instinct for surprising left turns. hot springs’ live shows feature an evolving lineup of musicians drawn from Manchester’s vibrant scene, where Rachel also collaborates with other artists as a band member and freelance producer.
This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
Price: £22 adv
