The pandemic lockdowns continue to bear fruit from artists who coped with the isolation through music. The latest is Marika Hackman, whose latest record finds her looking inward after overcoming her struggles with writer’s block. Playing every instrument (sans strings and brass), the album is deeply personal and offers a desolate soundscape rife with lyrical unease. NME hails Big Sigh as “a defining moment for one of our most intriguing songwriters.”
