Kathryn Joseph

Known for her fearless storytelling, raw emotional depth, and unflinching honesty, Kathryn Joseph has made a lasting mark on contemporary music. A relentless pursuit of truth runs through each of her albums, from the devastating beauty of bones you have thrown me and blood i' ve spilled (2015), which won the Scottish Album of the Year Award, to the grief-stricken intensity of from when i wake the want is (2018), and the haunting for you who are the wronged (2022), a powerful reckoning with abuse in all its forms.

Now, Kathryn embarks on a new chapter with her fourth album, WE WERE MADE PREY., set for release on 30 May via Rock Action Records. Recorded in the remote Black Bay Studio on the Isle of Lewis, the album explores the collision of want and loss, self-fulfillment and shame, embracing a newfound intensity-bigger, angrier, and full of want.

Joining forces with Lomond Campbell, Kathryn's delicate yet visceral sound continues to evolve, seamlessly blending intimate, unfiltered lyrics with rich, atmospheric layers of piano, keyboards, and electronic elements. Their long-standing collaboration has been instrumental in pushing her music into darker, more experimental territory, amplifying the raw emotional power at its core.

Reflecting on the album's transformation in the studio, she says, "The songs were angry, but in a small way. Until Lomond added all this beautiful noise, and suddenly they were angry in a much bigger way, in an exciting way, and so full of want."
