Marika Hackman

Post by roryks »

She's well worth checking out. Listen to her album, We Slept At Last, on her official site. http://marikahackman.com/music

I can't help being reminded of Stina Nordenstam when I listen to her music, especially on tracks like Open Wide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNjcjJC7GmI). Very reminiscent.

Hope you enjoy.

Indeed I can see the resemblance to Dynamite-era Stina-really liked that song until the chorus which was a bit more average, but the rest makes me want to go and hear more.

Yeah, I was unfamiliar with her when this thread was created nine years ago so I'm glad I spotted it before I'd created a new one on Marika. To be honest I only originally checked her out as she's on the same Transgressive label as my fave band (Let's Eat Grandma) are. Since then though,I've really enjoyed Marika's work in its own right. I don't hear any similarities with Stina though,apart from the one track, Wanderlust.....and even that is stretching things a bit. :)

Yeah, since yesterday, I listened to 3 of her albums, and it's varied and good. I think 2-3 songs could come a bit close to Stina work, mainly due to the raw guitar sound with chorus on it and the way of singing.
