Post Description

Ik deel de voorkeur van AlexanderPieps in dit genre voor vrouwelijke stemmen. Ik denk daarom dat hj deze ook wel kan waarderen. Laat maar weten AP.

Every album Jesca Hoop writes seems to end up reimagined one way or another. She loves her folk music but she also loves to dress it up with some excellent production chaos too. That means anyone who wants one or the other will usually get their wish when Jesca returns to reimagine her works. That’s what happens with ‘The Deconstruction of Jack’s House’ which pulls apart her 2012 album ‘The House That Jack Built’. I love the album and was very curious to see how Jesca would tackle it.

The best way to describe this version of the album is unplugged but not flat. That means bombastic visceral rock tracks like ‘Born To’ and ‘Peacemaker’ still have their energy – it’s just channelled differently. For instance, the guitar is electric but it’s a bouncy finger pluck of a dum-da-da that carries the tempo. What was the bass is now the bass and melody combined like a guitar foot-tapping beat. All the drums are removed bar one track (‘Dig This Record’) and replaced with occasional shakers too. It’s a real stripped back affair but it never feels barren or bare. That’s because there is always at least two guitars on the go at once to make that rhythmic guitar foundation and then Jesca sings from there.
