We’re no stranger to the enthralling voice of Marika Hackman and the arresting quality of her poetic lyrics, and she continues to amaze with her new single, “Before I Sleep”. It unfolds as a folk lullaby turned nightmare, with the clear tone of her voice whispering like a spirit in your ear in the dark of night. She sings of a numbness that love has fostered when entrapped like “a rabbit caught in your glow”, and a love that cannot last, “so I will wash my loving hands, I’m through”. Expect similarly entrancing tunes from her upcoming album We Sleep at Last, out February 16th.
