Big Sigh

Big Sigh brings together the best of Marika's previous works as an indie musician and adds a new layer of epic sounds and full-bodied production. Big Sigh is the "hardest record" Marika has ever made. As the title suggests, it is a relief of sorts - of sadness, of stress and lust, but mostly relief.

Co-produced with Sam Petts Davies (Frank Ocean, Radiohead, Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and Charlie Andew (Alt J, Wolf Alice, London Grammar). Lyrically, there's always romance alongside grief with elements of vulnerability and feeling trapped.

"This album took a long time to make. It was not easy, and by the time I got to the end of it, I was quirt. I wanted to be away from it and let it sit in its own space. Now the dust has settled, and I've got to re-enter the world of Big Sigh and I'm excited." Stepping into a new world, moving forward, chipping away. Breathe in, breathe out. Big sigh.
