TRACK OF THE YEAR 2013: MARIKA HACKMAN - BATH IS BLACK

This year's Track Of The Year goes to Marika Hackman with her song 'Bath Is Black'. The track originally appeared on her mini album 'That Iron Taste', with our attention being drawn to an acoustic version which appeared with a series of others in support of that release.

Here's a little bit of what we said about the track when we reviewed it way back when in January.

"Bath Is Black is wonderfully refreshing in what can sometimes be a stale folk genre. Starting with some delightful guitar finger picking, its Marika's vocals and poignant lyrics which really stand out here. Her voice has a delicate yet somehow knowing quality which belies her tender years, and you can't help but get drawn into her spell of weaving guitar and floating vocals with the song even changing tempo mid track almost seamlessly."
