Marika Hackman is set to celebrate the impending festive season with a new Christmas EP called Wonderland.
Hackman's shared the first single, "Driving Under Stars", which with its sleigh bells and '80s-tinged guitars should drag you right into the world of Wham! and Kate Bush.
As well as some original tunes, Hackman's added a few obligatory covers - including "Winter Wonderland" and "In The Bleak Midwinter".
The upcoming short-player follows last year's debut album We Slept At Last.
The vinyl edition of Wonderland is strictly limited to 300 copies and can be pre-ordered now. It's out 2 December via Transgressive.
Tracklist:
- Intro
- In The Bleak Midwinter
- Driving Under Stars
- O Come O Come Emmanuel
