In this episode, me and Sue Aston sit down with Katherine Priddy to explore her third album These Frightening Machines (out March 6 via Cooking Vinyl). Katherine discusses the lyrical themes running through the record — time, memory, womanhood, identity, relationships, and the feeling of being a “work in progress.”We talk in depth about the stories behind key tracks including “Matches” (reclaiming the voices of women erased by history), “Frightening Machines” (mortality, illness, and feeling trapped inside a malfunctioning body), “Hurricane” (groove, desire, and disconnection), “Madeleine” (solidarity between women in music), and standout songs like “A Matter of Time” and “Table Four.”Katherine also shares what it was like recording in rural Devon with producer Rob Ellis, how the album was shaped in the studio, and why she chose to end the record on a question mark with “Could This Be Enough?”These Frightening Machines is available on vinyl, CD and cassette, and Katherine tours the UK in April & May 2026 (with dates on her website).Become a Patron for exclusive videos and join the Now Spinning Arms virtual pub twice a month.Become a Patron (free trial -cancel anytime)https://www.patreon.com/nowspinningNow Spinning Magazine Storehttps://burningshed.com/store/now-spinning-magazineVisit the Now Spinning Magazine Merch Shophttps://nowspinningmagazine.co.uk/
