There’s a beautifully dark but dreamy feel to the kind of alt-folk sounds Marika Hackman makes. Only 21, Marika’s songwriting talents were picked up by Johnny Flynn, and the rest has been a fast-paced folk-infused trip to what is now her largest headline tour. Notables that have been on board this trip are Huw Stevens, Zane Lowe and the record label Transgressive who snapped her up in no time. Alt-J’s Charlie Andrew produced her EP Sugar Blind. Expect to be transported in to a stunningly skewed world of folk infused darkness.
