Last month, Marika Hackman unveiled her forthcoming record False Dogs, slated for release next year. Yet today she returns with something unrelated: a collaborative soundtrack for the new Netflix series The Body, created in partnership with composer Christopher Stracey.
The inaugural season of The Body premiered today, presenting a psychological drama with supernatural overtones set inside a Catholic high school. Hackman lends her voice to 31 of the album’s 38 tracks, performed alongside the Budapest Art Choir, including a cover of Kylie Minogue’s 1994 single “Confide In Me.” Hackman comments:
I’ve always loved exploring choral arrangements in my own work, and working with Christopher on this material, and the incredibly dark, campy, gothic dramatic material, alongside some bold cover choices (I mean, Kylie AND the Electric Prunes), it was great to explore my vocals as a lead instrument, especially having made this concurrently to producing my own record, where this served as a great counterpoint to my work across other instrumentation there. The series is badass too, you’re all in for a treat.
