Derry/Londonderry singer-songwriter Bridie Monds-Watson first hit our radar last year with an incredibly promising debut EP, Blud, released on an imprint from the band Chvrches. Now she has a full-length on the way, due via Rough Trade later this year. “Sea Creatures” — the new LP preview — is a cut that arrived in solo-acoustic form last year, but now it’s even more affecting as a midtempo swoon, a beautiful piece of gloaming akin to some of her neighbors to the north.
