Vinyl LP pressing. InchHand Solo,Inch InchBlow,Inch and InchConventional RideInch are just a few of the cheeky offerings off Any Human Friend, the new album from rock provocateur Marika Hackman. InchThis whole record is me diving into myself and peeling back the skin further and further, exposing myself in quite a big way. It can be quite sexual,Inch Hackman says. InchIt's blunt, but not offensive. It's mischievous.Inch There's also depth to her carnal knowledge Any Human Friend is ultimately about how, as she puts it, InchWe all have this lightness and darkness in us.Inch InchHand SoloInch extorts the virtues of masturbation and features Hackman's favorite line, InchUnder patriarchal law, I'm going to die a virgin.Inch The song InchBlowInch paints a picture of social excess. And InchConventional RideInch thumbs it's nose at heterosexual S*x through Inchthe trope a lot of gay women experience sleeping with someone, then it becomes apparent you're kind of an experiment.Inch Marika wrote the album over a year, recording a few songs at a time with co-producer David Wrench (Frank Ocean, The xx).
