In her first non-solo show in years there’s the sense that Jesca Hoop is still feeling her way back into her songs, but tonight is an excellent showcase for an extremely talented songwriter

The former who trades as the folk-lounge-Americana outfit Iron and Wine and the eclectic Californian songwriter Hoop are like a pair of unrelated siblings: their delicate golden harmonies are as instinctive as their genial bickering.

But for all the record’s production gloss and catchy choruses these numbers contain a darker centre only fully affecting in a pared back live setting.
