SOAK returns with news of second album Grim Town arriving this Spring, announcing it with lead single "Knock Me Off My Feet".

"Knock Me Off My Feet: is SOAK's first single since October 2018, when the Norther Irish singer/songwriter returned with "Everybody Loves You”.

Both singles will feature on SOAK's forthcoming sophomore album, which Bridie Monds-Watson describes as, “a dystopia that I’ve created in my brain: 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. 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.”

SOAK's debut album Before We Forgot How To Dream arrived back in 2015, and resulted in the singer/songwriter being nominated for the Mercury Prize.

"Knock Me Off My Feet" is out now. Grim Town arrives 26 April via Rough Trade. SOAK plays London's Islington Assembly Hall on 17 May as part of a UK and European tour. Find out more.
