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.
