This year, we welcomed Marika Hackman to our house in the lead up to her slot at Pitchfork London festival.

Marika joined forces with Abbey Road engineer Paul Pritchard and assistant Ed Farrell in The Gatehouse to record a special new
version of her debut album highlight Skin that features Laura Marling. Skin first appeared on Hackman’s lauded debut album We Slept At Last, released 10 years ago.

Produced by Marika, this new version retains the effortlessly demure tone of the original, there’s now steely confidence within Hackman’s delivery that glints like a blade, whilst Marling’s gossamer voice offers a haunting counterpoint.

Abbey Road Amplify x Pitchfork London sees artists playing the Pitchfork London festival come into the studios to work with Abbey Road’s engineers and record something new.
