SOAK is the indie rock moniker of Bridie Monds-Watson, a singer-songwriter from Northern Ireland. They emerged in the mid-2010s with a sound that blended youthful introspection with elements of folk and alternative rock. Grim Town arrived as SOAK's second album, following their 2015 debut Before the World Was Made. At this point, they were established artists on the indie circuit, moving beyond the initial buzz of their first release.
