Australian singer-songwriter Gordi has shared a new EP titled ‘Lunch at Dune’, alongside a live video featuring SOAK.
The EP is built around its title-track, a collaboration with Mercury Prize-nominated Northern Irish folk musician SOAK (aka Bridie Monds-Watson). To mark the release, the pair have shared a live version of the song filmed at The Durhamstown Castle in Ireland.
The project came together after Gordi – real name Sophie Payten – wrote the track during the early days of the pandemic. “I was sitting at the kitchen table of an Airbnb in East London in the last week of February in 2020. It was cold and dark outside, and the streets were unnervingly silent. Refreshing my Twitter feed every 2 minutes to see which country had closed its borders, I wondered if I’d be able to get home, as the panic around the pandemic was swirling. I sat in the crippling uncertainty for a minute, and began to write. The next day I finished what became ‘Lunch at Dune’ in a small studio in Camden in the northern part of London,” she explains.
