SOAK
Believe the hype around the bright young thing signed to CHVRCHES' label.
Overview
SOAK aka Bridie-Monds Watson, first grabbed the attention of the music industry at age 14. Over the past four years this singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s musical skills have pricked the ears of fans worldwide — including CHVRCHES.
SOAK’s debut album, Before We Forgot How To Dream, will be released in just a few months, and if her singles so far such as 'BLUD' and her latest 'Sea Creatures' are anything to go by, we have a lot to look forward to. If it’s good enough for CHVRCHES to sign her to their label, Goodbye Records, it’s certainly worth more than two minutes of your time.
Generating comparisons to Cat Power, Laura Marling and Lykke Li, SOAK's songs contain observations of her external as well as internal world that many would assume were beyond her years. Don't underestimate this admittedly young but super talented alternative folk performer. She's already sold out shows in Sydney, so if you want to see SOAK before she heads home to Northern Ireland, get tickets from The Shadow Electric quick sticks.
