Marika Hackman - Big Sigh - New LP Record 2024 Chrysalis UK Black Vinyl - Alternative Rock

Big Sigh brings together the best of Marika's 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 suggests, 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 Chili Peppers) & Charlie Andrew (Alt J, Wolf Alice, London Grammar). Lyrically there's 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 I've got to re-enter the world of Big Sigh, and I'm excited." Stepping into a new world, moving forward, chipping away. Beathe in, breathe out. Big sigh.
