SOAK (Bridie Monds-Watson) returns after 4 years with a new album, bringing with her 4 years worth of growth, introspection and understanding.
Grim Town is the follow-up to the Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut Before We Forgot How To Dream, which saw Bridie win the prestigious Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year, the Northern Irish Music Prize, and the European Border Breaker Award, in addition to being shortlisted for a Q Award.
A record about getting lost that you can, also, truly get lost in, Grim Town arrives as inspired by the audio-visual environmentalism of Pink Floyd’s The Wall as the production of Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene or Phoebe Bridgers. With unflinching honesty, Bridie tackles everything from long-distance love, depression, divorce and social anxiety to the changing modern landscape (sexually, politically, emotionally).
