Marika Hackman - "Big Sigh"

"Big Sigh" is Marika's album number 4 - or number 5 if you take into account her "Covers" record. It's a very deep, strong and personal album, with different sonorities and landscapes but with lyrics always coming across as too rudimentary to me. There is of course intention to it and I do appreciate the consistency of the record in this regard; just like instruments play a big part in it (with Marika playing most of them on the record) so do the lyrics, which are undoubtedly raw, honest and direct. This is a brave endeavor from one of the most distinctive British musicians currently out there. Watch the video of one of my favourites below:
