Its amazing how the floodgates open when you shut out all the internal and external noise, stop pandering to stereotype, cease listening to your anxieties, and disregard the compartment society has built for you. Im Not Your Man, the Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, Rae Morris)-produced second album from Marika Hackman, begins with an impromptu hearty laugh. Its not the sound of silliness; its the sound of liberation, spontaneity, and joy. 24-year-old Hackman is feeling more herself than ever. Life isnt necessarily funnier or happier, but when theres cause for a joke or a big ballsy statement, shes not holding back any more.
