From Deaf Heat EP2021

Lyrics

Call off the Dogs

[Verse 1] Call off the dogs Keep your head "I know the drill" Is what you said [Chorus I] But the blind-thump Drum beat Froze with Deaf heat [Verse 2] And the night's still young But I feel old And don't touch me there Your hands were cold [Chorus II] From the outside Crows speak Wet face Warm cheeks [Bridge] Silence my roaring veins Exhale, inhale It's hot in here Fleshy-walled foundations Oxygen thick like glue [Verse 3] Let's go to bed I like you best The teeth in your mouth Tongue suppressed [Chorus I] (x2)

Marika Hackman has released a new version of 'Skin' featuring Laura Marling

Marika Hackman collaborates with Laura Marling on a new recording of 'Skin' to celebrate her debut album's tenth anniversary.

Live at Leeds In The City has signed up Marika Hackman, Phoebe Green, Swim School and more

The festival will feature over 100 artists across Leeds' independent venues, showcasing new music talent.

Marika Hackman: "It’s really important to not let vulnerability become a fear"

Marika Hackman’s new album ‘Big Sigh’ is an exercise in catharsis - it’s soul-baring, vulnerable, and melds together all of her previous works to create something with an identity entirely of its own.

Marika Hackman is teasing her upcoming album with "back to my roots" new single 'The Yellow Mile'

Her new full-length is very nearly here.
