Podcast appearances and mentions of bridie monds watson

The band's Bridie Monds-Watson let it be known publicly that they are non-binary and that revelation informs the subject matter of their third album “If I Never Know You Like This Again”

In episode #79 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar catches up with Derry native Bridie Monds-Watson, aka SOAK, to talk about their third album, If I Never Know You Like This Again. SOAK's Bridie Monds-Watson (they/them) has incessantly documented their life in photos and video from a young age. It makes perfect sense then that If I Never Know You Like This Again is made up of what Bridie calls “song memories”. Having written much of the new album during the pandemic, when time felt at its slowest, Bridie's obsessive need to document each chapter of their life made a marvel of the mundane. In this interview, Bridie talks to me about their third album, If I Never Know You Like This Again, songwriting, musical influences, etc.

Bridie Monds-Watson, better known by their stage name SOAK, is singer-songwriter from Derry, Northern Ireland. SOAK's music has been described as 'a vivid portrait of teenage deep-thinking' by The Guardian. Enjoy the episode!

When Before We Forgot How to Dream arrived, most of the coverage understandably centered on the songwriter’s age. At 19, Bridie Monds-Watson has released a remarkably worldly and mature record for Rough Trade. It’s been four years, the woman behind Soak having taken some well-deserved time off from recording and touring. She moved from Derry, North Ireland, to the perennial musical hot spot of Manchester. She didn’t rush and just generally went about living the of a young person in an exciting new town. This month, Monds-Watson returns with Grim Town, an ode to her beloved hometown and to her own growth as an artist and human being. Recorded a few months before the album’s release, this interview finds the musician on a break from tour and ready to discuss the impact of those few years away.
