Snowglobe is an EP by Jesca Hoop, self-released through Last Laugh records on March 7, 2011.
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”.
[4] The 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'.
