Irish singer-songwriter SOAK, also known as Bridie Monds-Watson, announced the album decembers and released its title track. Rough Trade is set to release the nine-song record on Dec. 4; tour dates in North America and Europe are also listed.
SOAK, the project of Irish singer-songwriter Bridie Monds-Watson, has announced a new album, decembers, and shared the title track. The nine-song record is scheduled for release Dec. 4 through Rough Trade, with concerts listed in North America and Europe from October 2026 through February 2027.
The album’s title song is available alongside the announcement. SOAK’s previous release mentioned in the report was “Death Valley Fridge Magnet,” an acoustic ballad released in June. That song appears second on the new album’s tracklist, after “decembers.”
The nine tracks are “decembers,” “death valley fridge magnet,” “speed,” “woodstock,” “minus 3,” “subaru,” “backroads,” “transmitter park” and “closing down.” The report does not specify album formats, its recording details or whether additional songs will be released before the album arrives.
The listed live dates start Oct. 28, 2026, at The Stone Church in Brattleboro, Vermont, and include a New York show at Bowery Ballroom the following night. The schedule continues in the United Kingdom, Ireland and mainland Europe in February 2027. The Brattleboro, New York and Providence dates are marked as performances with The Barr Brothers.
A New Record and Tour Schedule
The announcement gives listeners a release date and a first track to hear, while the full tracklist offers an outline of decembers before its December arrival. The included June single connects the new album to SOAK’s most recent release cited in the report.
The tour schedule also sets out opportunities to see Monds-Watson perform in several cities after the album release, including dates in Ireland and the UK as well as stops in the United States and continental Europe. The report provides the venues and dates, but does not say when tickets go on sale or give ticket prices.
From June Single to Album
The album announcement follows SOAK’s June release of “Death Valley Fridge Magnet.” The track is listed as the second song on decembers, placing an already released song within the forthcoming album’s sequence. The source report does not give a specific June release date.
Monds-Watson described the record through a passage from Thomas Wolfe’s novel You Can’t Go Home Again. They said they had once wanted to disprove the idea that a person cannot return to earlier forms of home and memory, but came to see that holding on was no way to live. Monds-Watson characterized the album as being “about forgiveness.”
““In a way, I think decembers is about forgiveness.””
