Following the captivating debut single produced by Johnny Flynn and Adam Beach from the Sussex Wit – Marika Hackman will release her mini album ‘That Iron Taste’ on 25th February on Dirty Hit.
Lead single ‘Cannibal’ is about the conflicts between human evolution and personal greed. Offering new riches with each listen, ‘Cannibal’ was recently named Zane Lowe ‘Hottest Record in the World’.
Intrigue is at the heart of Marika’s music, but there’s something gloriously attainable about her as an artist, and her commitment to touring and meeting with a receptive audience who are searching for the very same antidotes to the challenges of modern life.
Speaking about her music, Marika says: “I don't know why I started writing; it's something I've been playing around with since I was so young that I can't remember how it began. I think living in the countryside for most of my life has affected my writing as nature usually manages to creep its way into my songs..."
Ahead of her own headline UK tour in March, Marika has been invited to play with Ethan Johns on his February 2013 tour.
