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 \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eA Semi or a Freight Train\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50739250004264,"sku":"86000607847","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4094665-2920306.jpg?v=1763990399","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/greer-katie-alice-barbarism-lp-6000607847","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
