Watch an eerie session with Marika Hackman

Over three EPs, Marika Hackman's unique songwriting vision has evolved from folky beginnings to more psychedelic territory. Offering a charismatic presence, the soft-voiced artist is slowly stamping her mark on the UK alternative music scene.

In an empty Barbican hall, save for a dancing couple, she treated us to an eerie rendition of "Drown", the first single from her upcoming debut album.
