Jan 16, 2024The album fades out gently, a dissipation of tension and emotion that you don’t realise is cathartic until it’s over – for this reason, Big Sigh doesn’t just feel like Hackman’s best, but it feels like a distinct chapter marker in her catalogue. She closes the last decade stunningly, and nudges open the next.
-
Jan 12, 2024Maybe Hackman just needed a little break before delivering her most compelling album to date.
-
Jan 9, 2024A gorgeous album, ‘Big Sigh’ is a winter treat for the long January nights.
-
Jan 16, 2024It’s a very good set of songs, sleek and wrenching at the same time.
-
Jan 16, 2024It’s hard not to feel like there could be a little more to Big Sigh, a little more to Hackman. Regardless, there is a lot to be found in this excellent album if you allow it some time, give it some space and, while it may not be as easy as it seems, embrace its familiarity.
-
Jan 16, 2024Big Sigh is at its best when Hackman resists these broad-stroke urges, and carves out more precise imagery—whether with a pen or an ice pick.
-
Jan 9, 2024Big Sigh's strength is in not holding back from confronting darker feelings, and revelling in the raw honesty of experiencing them.
