Kathryn Joseph announces new album, tour dates

By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 2 February 2022

Kathryn Joseph has announced that she will release her third album – ‘For You Who Are The Wronged’ – in April.

The follow-up to 2018’s ‘From When I Wake The Want Is’, the new record was written in early 2020 and features songs themed around different types of violation. She says that she hopes the album might help someone who recognises themselves in one of these songs.

“Partly, it feels like the only thing I can do in terms of saying it out loud”, she explains. “It’s like code. No one will hear their name, or recognise themselves, but in years to come, they might”.

“For me”, she adds, “I think maybe there’s someone who might not even realise that they’re being abused until they listen to these songs. The ones who are already [aware of the abuse] – I know how strong they are. They’re in my life, and they’re surviving it”.

The album is set for release through Mogwai’s Rock Action label on 22 Apr. Out now is new single ‘What Is Keeping You Alive Makes Me Want To Kill Them For’:
