Sivu and Marika Hackman go together like peas and carrots. They're touring together, and they've just put out a new track, "I Hold", in which they stitch together a comfort-blanket of acoustics, piecing together off-kilter fragments with introspective, yet beautiful, harmonies. The result is an intagible piece of music that sits somewhere between nowhere. Sivu wrote it when he was in an adjustment period, and you can tell. It's the musical realisation of not quite being all there, like one of those off days where you "just feel a bit funny", or standing at a party thumbing through your phone because nothing that you could say will ever interest a single person there.Sivu and Marika Hackman will play the following shows together in December:December 10 Brighton The HopeDecember 11 London The LexingtonDecember 12 Cambridge Portland ArmsDecember 13 Manchester GulliversDecember 14 Bristol The Birdcage).
