Barbarism is Katie Alice Greers 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. Barbarism was written, performed, produced, and mixed entirely by Katie Alice Greer. It is profoundly singular, a graphic vision held completely by its individual perspective. Its also a boundless and lush record, teeming with bluffs, charms, and jolts. In Greers 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 Greers hands, other times its a malevolent, drowning force shes fighting against. In both cases, its 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 Greers 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.
