Known for her clear, haunting voice and delicately fingerpicked guitar style Katherine Priddy, drawing on traditional British folk while writing deeply personal songs, she creates music that feels timeless and intimate.
Her debut album The Eternal Rocks Beneath earned critical praise, and her performances are marked by emotional honesty, quiet power, and a gift for storytelling rooted in landscape, memory, and human connection, and a reverence for tradition.
Priddy has announced the release of her third album, These Frightening Machines for March 2026 via Cooking Vinyl. The new record follows Priddy’s 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. 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.
