Soak - Before We Forgot How To Dream

Early on, much was made of the young age of Bridie Monds-Watson - who performs as Soak - but as her accomplished, wise-beyond her- years songs and breathtakingly lovely voice reached more new listeners, the pixie-ish, tattooed skateboarder's appeal has transcended her youth. Before We Forgot How To Dream is a beautifully-wrought album, full of musical turns that showcase Watson's uniquely sweet and haunting voice, as well as lyrics that marry a sunny and romantic sense of nostalgia with frank treatments of human failings, hopes, and - yes - dreams. Already a household name in the UK, with 'Sea Creatures' in BBC Radio 1 A-list rotation and prominent festival bookings throughout the season, Soak's debut appearances in NYC and SXSW this March found her playing before capacity crowds.
