Marika Hackman – Any Human Friend – Vinyl Record

Description

“Any Human Friend” is Marika Hackman’s album, revealing a deep dive into her own psyche. Often sexual and provocative, but with a nuance that doesn’t offend. The title was inspired by a documentary showing children interacting with dementia patients, highlighting genuine human connections. Known for her introspective songs, Hackman first gained attention with “We Slept at Last.” Her follow-up, “Im Not Your Man”, received critical acclaim for its authenticity and unexpected twists. Songs like “hand solo” discuss self-pleasure, while “blow” touches on social excess, and “conventional ride” challenges heteronormative expectations. Hackman’s candidness is evident; even sharing intimate songs with her parents. This album was birthed after an emotional breakup and a transformative year of songwriting, with co-producer David Wrench. It features diverse influences, from ethereal R&B to pop, showcasing Hackman’s unique evolution. For her, music is about connecting and sparking conversation with listeners.
