Interview: Marika Hackman on 'I'm Not Your Man', recording with The Big Moon, and coming out of the shadows.

Marika Hackman isn’t your man anymore. Her second studio album, the follow up to 2015’s ‘We Slept At Last’, is the sound of someone casting off everything that held them back from being their best self, including – but not limited to – secrets, managers, metaphors, misogynists, and fear. Re-teaming with producer Charlie Andrew, also known for his work with alt-J, she enlisted the help of her pals The Big Moon as a backing-band for a record that’s designed to feel live, as if when you put your headphones in, you’re tuning into a live-stream from the studio.

The Japanese House - 'Saw You In A Dream' music video.

Currently on a headlining tour of the UK, The Japanese House has just dropped a beautiful music video for her new single, 'Saw You In A Dream’, which features Amber Bain passing through various choreographed dream-like-sequences.

About the inspiration behind her song, Bain says: "It’s a very clear message: I didn’t want to drown my vocals in too many harmonies this time because the melody is quite strong on its own. Rather than to hide your sadness about your loss of someone, it’s a nice thing to be like ‘I miss them’. That’s why the vocals are quite present."
