The Fat Angel Sings

Marika Hackman recorded this in a tunnel somewhere in the North East, Her lyrics, and her self-directed videos, reveal an appetite for the grotesque. In an early online hit “Bath Is Black“, written when she was 17, she sank into a tub of poster paint and “had black bogeys for days”. And the video for the new track Animal Fear will feature an evisceration of some kind ,a Facebook shot reveals her 1966 Fender Mustang spattered with fake blood. Severed limbs, decomposition and emotional self-sabotage continue to inspire her – in the new song Monday Afternoon she is “breathing in the sickly sweet of my rotting skin”. She wrote the song about the time her appendix burst.
