SOAK returns with "death valley fridge magnet", their first solo song in four years

"death valley fridge magnet" follows SOAK's 2022 album If I Never Know You Like This Again, as well as a string of collaborative singles released throughout 2024, including "just stand there" with Fred Again... and "Lunch At Dune" with Gordi. The track follows a period in which Monds-Watson was feeling lost, and questioning whether they could move forward with music.

“When I wrote ‘death valley fridge magnet’, I was feeling incredibly lost in my life. I’d started having vocal issues and thought my time in music was coming to an end," Monds-Watson explains."I think I was trying to make sense of myself and the direction I was headed by painting a picture of the world from where I was standing. In doing so I realised how precious and treasured my friendships are and how my friends remind me of who I am faster than anything else. Even if that’s a two minute long conversation at a truck stop in the middle of nowhere, America, it doesn’t take much and it all adds up.”
