In mid July Bridie Monds-Watson, an 18-year-old singer from Ireland, better known as SOAK, wrapped up her American tour with a performance in New York at Le Poisson Rogue. The LPR stage was converted to a circle in the middle of the venue, creating a strange set up for Monds-Watson, who admitting it was a first for her.
Playing tracks from her beautiful debut album Before We Forgot How to Dream (released via Rough Trade), Monds-Watson delighted the hushed New York crowd. Her songs are honest reflections about coming of age, delivering with the same honesty that caught our attention to begin with. It’s amazing to hear such a young talent seem so mature and fully realized so soon. Things are only going to get bigger and better for SOAK in the immedaitely future, I can’t wait to see what comes next.
