SOAK has released Valentine Shmalentine from her upcoming new album Grim Town.
Out on April 26th, at the album’s core is ‘a dystopia that I’ve created in my brain’, says Bridie-Monds Watson, ‘me on the inside, processed into a pretend location’. “The way I could wrap my head around a lot of what I was going through was to make it feel like something quite physical and real,” she continues.
“Once I had the idea of the album being an actual location, exploring the dynamics of this town and what it would look or sound like felt like the right way to give my mental state a personality.”
