It contains four new songs, supplemented by two acoustic renditions of previously released songs. The track 'City Bird' was released as a free download on January 26, 2011,[2] while the album was followed by a UK tour.[3] Hoop described the experiences of living in downtown LA in ‘City Bird’ where she found that “the block I moved onto was lined with these cardboard houses and people sleeping in doorways", which was contrasted with “expresses my absolute love for home” in ‘While You Were Away’. A left-over from her previous album Hunting My Dress, the song ‘Snowglobe’ referred to her mother's funeral which she “would have put [...] the album to accompany the other two songs that I wrote for her, but the truth is that I could not sing it with out getting choked up”. The regular a cappella curtain-closer for her live-shows, ‘Storms Make Grey the Sea’ was written "by the sea".[3] Although describing them as folk songs, Hoop maintained that while "folk tends to go towards your intellect, [she also wants to] tap into how your body relates to music".[4] Critical receptionThe album received some critical acclaim, with Drowned in Sound calling it "a concise but precise chapter in the Hoop story",[5] while the NME described it as an 'deceptively opaque EP'.[6] The Guardian explained that "musically at least, is simpler and starker. The focus is on Hoop's otherworldly voice (...) while cello and guitar wisp around her".[4] {{Album reviews| MC = |rev1=NME |rev1Score= 6/10 [6] |rev2 = Drowned in Sound |rev2score = 7/10 [5] |rev3 = Female First |rev3score = 4/5 [7] }} Track listing{{Tracklist| all_writing = Jesca Hoop | title1 = City Bird | extra1 = | length1 = 4:15 | title2 = While You Were Away | extra2 = | length2 = 3:49 | title3 = Snowglobe | extra3 = | length3 = 4:58 | title4 = Silverscreen (acoustic)[8] | extra4 = | length4 = 4:04 | title5 = Rêves Dans les Creux" (acoustic)[9] | extra5 = | length5 = 5:47 | title6 = Storms Make Grey the Sea | extra6 = | length6 = 2:14 }} Personnel
