The result is \u003ci\u003eGrim Town\u003c\/i\u003e, the follow-up to her Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut \u003ci\u003eBefore We Forgot How To Dream,\u003c\/i\u003e which saw her win the prestigious Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year, the Northern Irish Music Prize, and the European Border Breaker Award, in addition to being shortlisted for a Q Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer astonishingly assured, emotionally mature songwriting was often hailed as wise beyond its years; but, as her new album often asks, when do we ever truly shake off those childlike fears, the imposter-syndrome, the outsider-status? The term ‘to come of age’ lands with so much expectation, but with \u003ci\u003eGrim Town\u003c\/i\u003e, Bridie dissolves all such assuredness with imaginative, ambitious, and cathartic results. It is almost as though the greater soundscape - heavier in places, more pop-focused in others - has given Soak the confidence to put her long overdue introspections in the firing line. It’s beauty and brutality is there from the album open opener, \u003ci\u003eGet Set Go Kid \u003c\/i\u003ewhich traces the train-tracks out of depression (\u003ci\u003e“I’ve got to get out, I can’t live here anymore!”\u003c\/i\u003e) and was as inspired by the audio-visual environmentalism of Pink Floyd’s \u003ci\u003eThe Wall\u003c\/i\u003e as Bridie’s train-obsessed grandad on voiceover duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - Double Vinyl Set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP+ - Limited Double Vinyl Set with Bonus 7\" featuring \u003ci\u003eIOU\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTalk Of The Town\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - Digipack with Booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rough Trade Records","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50498044461387,"sku":"1054358","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50498044068171,"sku":"1054356","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50498044690763,"sku":"1054357","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/15e13a8a-7f65-47b1-9deb-8570a4729b02_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727737881","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/grim-town","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
