SOAK’s new ‘Blud’ video has puppies, kart-racing and skateboarding
Take a step into Bridie’s Derry lifestyle with this new clip.
Bridie Monds-Watson aka SOAK has unveiled the video for ‘Blud’, the latest single to be lifted from debut album ‘Before We Forgot How To Dream’.
Filmed in the signature black-and-white aesthetic, the new clip takes a trip to Derry - Bridie’s hometown - and sees her go-karting, hanging out with friends and (of course) skateboarding. There’s also time for a quick trip to London, where SOAK goes record-browsing in Rough Trade East. And puppies. Puppies feature quite heavily. It’s an instant winner.
SOAK’s debut album is released 1st June on Rough Trade. She takes to the following headline dates this June:
JUNE
04 London, Bush Hall
05 Manchester, Sacred Trinity
06 Glasgow, Oran Mor
10 Belfast, Empire Music Hall
