Marla Hansen is a musician you may not have heard of, but you almost certainly have heard her music on various releases, performances and collaborations with artists like Sufjan Stevens, The National, Jens Lekman, Jay-Z, Alice and Ravi Coltrane, amongst many more. A tremendously talented violist, violinist and singer-songwriter based in Berlin, in March she released her sublime second full-length album, Salt, delicately blending acoustic instruments with electronics. The compositions on Salt are both celestial and warm, and we find Hansen continuing to build on her distinctive musical identity, and showcasing her exceptional musicianship and unique voice. We are delighted to have Marla Hansen curating this month's treat of a mixtape, giving us a taste of her world of influences.
