Last month, Marika Hackman announced her new album False Dogs, which arrives next year. However, today she's back with something unrelated: A collaborative soundtrack for the new Netflix series The Body with composer Christopher Stracey.
The first season of The Body premiered today, and it's a psychological drama/supernatural horror set in a Catholic high school. Hackman sings on 31 of the album's 38 tracks alongside the Budapest Art Choir, including on a cover of Kylie Minogue's 1994 single "Confide In Me." Hackman says:
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.
