MARIKA HACKMAN – Big Sigh (with a print by Marika) – LP – Green Vinyl

LP – Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Green Vinyl with a limited edition print by Marika.

Big Sigh brings together the best of Marikas previous works as an indie musician and adds a new layer of epic sounds and full-bodied production.

Big Sigh is the hardest record Marika has ever made. As the title suggest, it is a relief of sorts of sadness, of stress and lust, but mostly relief.

Co-produced with Sam Petts Davies (Frank Ocean, Radiohead, Red Hot Chilli Peppers) & Charlie Andrew (Alt J, Wolf Alice, London Grammar). Lyrically theres always romance alongside grief, with elements of vulnerability and feeling trapped.

This album took a long time to make. It was not easy, and by the time I got to the end of it I was quiet. I wanted to be away from it and let it sit in its own space. Now the dust has settled and Ive got re-enter the world of Big Sigh, and Im excited. Stepping into a new world, moving forward, chipping away. Breathe in, breathe out. Big sigh.
