Katherine
Priddy has announced the release of her third album, These Frightening
Machines for March 2026 via Cooking Vinyl. The new record follows
Priddy’s highly acclaimed debut The Eternal Rocks Beneath and sophomore LP The
Pendulum Swing which firmly established her as one of the most exciting artists
on the contemporary British music scene. Greeted with critical acclaim in the
press, many called it “One of The Albums of the Year”. With her momentum
showing no signs of slowing, the release of These Frightening Machines is set
to take her star even higher.
Priddy has
sold out headline tours and supported world class artists with her haunting
vocals and distinctive finger-picking guitar style. She recently wrote and
released two songs with Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and performed on the
legendary BBC Later with Jools Holland TV show.
The most
sonically varied of her career, the songs on Priddy’s new album span a full
spectrum of emotions and explore what it means to keep going when things fall
apart, to hold onto connections in a world that sometimes divides, and to
figure out where we fit into the machines and systems we find ourselves a part
of. Following the success of her first two singles “Matches”, a powerful
feminist anthem, and “Frightening Machines”, a deeply emotive second track,
Priddy has now shared a third preview from These Frightening Machines:
new single “Hurricane”, an expansion of her sound into a sultry groove with a
cautionary tale of dangerous love.
