Susanna Hoffs Announces 'The List,' Her First Album of New Originals in Over a Decade

Recorded live in her Los Angeles home with producer CJ Camerieri, the 12-song set turns a late-1980s dating list and other memories into intimate collaborative songs.

Overview

  • Hoffs announced The List will be released on Sept. 18 via her own Baroque Folk label and is her first collection of new original material in more than ten years.
  • The album was tracked live at Hoffs’s Los Angeles home and produced by CJ Camerieri with close, kitchen-table writing sessions that involved multiple collaborators.
  • Lead single "Casablanca" revisits a 1988 New Orleans encounter with Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir and frames the record’s focus on unfinished romances and memory.
  • Hoffs will tour with Camerieri, Ryan Lerman, Spencer Zahn and JT Bates, including a sold-out five-night residency at New York’s Café Carlyle plus festival dates and support shows with Billy Idol.
  • The List draws its title from a faded Filofax page Hoffs kept of past dates and includes a song celebrating her marriage to filmmaker Jay Roach and a closing track co-written for the stage adaptation of her novel.
