With exactly one month to go until her seventh album Long Wave Home – the first she's self-produced – UK-based Californian singer/songwriter Jesca Hoop has shared a third single, "Big Storm", and news of a US/EU tour that kicks off in Scotland on May 12. Musicians guesting on the song include singer/songwriter Chloe Foy, Polar Bear's Sebastian Rochford, and double bassist John Thorne, with arrangements by Jesse D Vernon.

As Hoop says of the track in a press release:

"There was a moment, many years ago, when I was ready to ditch everything – everyone I knew and everything I was doing. I gave away all my possessions, keeping only the essentials. I sold my car. I bought a plane ticket. The plan was to leave without notice. Then the biggest storm in recent history blew my getaway plan to bits. It grounded all planes and halted travel. I was forced to face my life. Myself.

 The storm taught me there is no cheat code for life – no easy way out. At the same time, my life – my happiness – is my responsibility. Mine and only mine."
