Scottish songwriter Kathryn Joseph conveys a burning emotive potency through minimal arrangements.
Her songs poignantly grapple with heavy, heart-wrenching narratives, from her 2014 debut grieving the loss of her son to 2018’s When I Wake the Want Is and her newest album dealing with stories of abuse.
At the core of Joseph’s songwriting is a nuanced expression of pain, which carries through her latest record For You Who Are the Wronged.
As with her previous work, Joseph purveys these truths with courage and rawness held particularly in her mournful yet soothing vocals and punctuated by sparse instrumentation.
