From 2012 - 2019, Greer was the vocalist for Washington D. C. punk band Priests, and co-founded the record label Sister Polygon. Barbarism was written, performed, produced, and mixed entirely by Katie Alice Greer. It is profoundly singular, a graphic vision held completely by it's individual perspective. It's also a boundless and lush record, teeming with bluffs, charms, and jolts. In Greer's words, \"making this record felt like I was making an entire world. \" This world is unnerving, loud. It evokes the bustle and momentum of a cartoon factory, orchestral gears threatening to grab your sleeve and yank you into a grinding embrace. Sometimes the accumulation of sound feels like a weapon in Greer's hands, other times it's a malevolent, drowning force she's fighting against. In both cases, it's fortunate that Greer has developed such command of her voice: to breeze atop this roar; to attack it in kind; to grow so crisply vulnerable that the song, shamed, twists itself into beauty. Barbarism is Katie Alice Greer's first full-length solo LP, following three EPs. From 2012 - 2019, Greer was the vocalist for Washington D. C. punk band Priests, and co-founded the record label Sister Polygon. Greer carefully sculpted each gesture on the record, contorting jangling guitars, sibilant hi-hats, even her own voice into thorny, unrecognizable corridors of sound. The creation of \"How Do I Know (Pring 5)\" provides a helpful example of this painstaking, gratifying process: \"The wobbly guitar chord strums are me playing an acoustic through some tremolo,\" explained Greer, \"overprocessing it through a lot of filters. The original 'beat' of the song was a clip of a voice memo I recorded, where I turned it up really loud and looped the 'bump' sound over and over. \"1 FITS\/My Love Can't Be2 Talking In My Sleep (Intro)3 Fake Nostalgia4 Dreamt I Talk To Horses5 Flag Wave Pt. 16 Flag Wave Pt. 27 Captivated8 No Man9 A Semi Or A Freight Train10 How Do I Know (PRING 5)11 Barbarism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 860006078492\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Four Four Records\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541727756509,"sku":"860006078492","price":103.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4143827-2922728.jpg?v=1772602076","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/katie-greer-alice-barbarism-with-booklet","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
