Marika Hackman Plays H&H This Sunday

Most 21-year-olds still don’t know what to do with their lives, but Marika Hackman has already been a model for Burberry, and is tipped to be a breakthrough pop artist this year.It was when she was 14 years old and she played her first gig with school friend Cara Delevingne (Hackman played drums while the supermodel played guitar and sang) that she gained a taste for being a musician.

Marika’s music is something very different to the happy-clappy nature of recent folk , hers is a far more potent vision in the lineage of Syd Barrett, but presented by an enigmatic beauty with a striking vocal delivery more akin to that of Nico deftly exploring an unsmiling bereft landscape.

Having already toured  with Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Marika Hackman has scheduled her biggest headline touring stint to date, hitting the road during March. The singer, whose Sugar Blind EP is streaming beneath, will play shows in London, Manchester, Sheffield and other UK cities. She’ll also soon head into the studio to work on her debut album.

Watch her performance of ‘Itchy Teeth’ below:
