Kathryn Joseph is at her bloodiest on new single "WOLF."

Alan Pedder

Fresh from celebrating the 10th anniversary of her Scottish Album of the Year-winning debut bones you have thrown me and blood i've spilled, Glasgow-based artist Kathryn Joseph is back with a third taste of her upcoming album, WE WERE MADE PREY., out 30 May via Mogwai's Rock Action Records (pre-order here).

“This was the first song that I wrote for the album and it felt like I was just spewing out all of this want," she says in an accompanying press release. "'WOLF.' is want shame need and blood. Knowing it is all there is. And that you have no idea what or who happens next and how terrifying and beautiful that is."

Lusty and menacing, "WOLF." follows the earlier singles "HARBOUR." and "DEER.", and once again comes with an animated video made by Joseph's co-writer and producer Lomond Campbell. Watch below:

Joseph and Campbell will tour together as a duo throughout the summer and fall, including several dates opening for Mogwai on the second European leg of the band's extensive The Bad Fire World Tour. Tickets for all dates are on sale now.
