Gordi and SOAK collaborate on new single, "Lunch At Dune"
Australian singer-songwriter Gordi has shared “Lunch At Dune” as a new collaboration with Bridie Monds-Watson aka SOAK, alongside the announcement of an eponymous EP.
"As a longtime fan of Gordi I was so hyped when she reached out to ask me to sing on this track. Something I've always found mesmerising about her work is that each song feels like its own little universe," SOAK explains. "I think ‘Lunch at Dune’ is a great example of this, a world of its own. I was less hyped when Sophie asked me to jump in the freezing Irish sea at the start of winter for the video but I obliged and have since returned to my normal skin tone".
“The song is about feeling like there is something insurmountable in front of you and the only way through is perspective," Gordi adds. "In ‘Lunch At Dune’, I’m trying to give that perspective to someone I love."
Of how this collaboration originated, Gordi had been a fan of SOAK for years, and after seeing them perform in New York, knew they'd provide the missing piece that "Lunch at Dune" needed. Through mutual friends, their lives intertwined many years later, and as is the way in the 21st century, Bridie and Sophie became internet ‘pen pals’.
“I recently flew to Dublin to meet Bridie and we spent a good part of the weekend wandering around Dublin where I learned how to split the G of a Guinness, and concluded that the Leprechaun Museum is criminally underrated. I ate an Irish Spice Bag for the first time.. highly rated”, Gordi reflects.
