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”.

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. With her momentum showing no signs of slowing, the release of These Frightening Machines is set to take her star even higher.

Support: George Boomsma 

UK singer-songwriter from Northallerton, North Yorkshire. Organic instrumentation with a folk-rock influence reminiscent of classic Crosby, Stills & Nash and Jeff Buckley.

Traditional folk signatures and themes run throughout, but are refreshed by and blended with country motifs, klezmer modes, and the steady bed-rock pocket of rhythm and blues, creating a unique and sonically rich sound.
