Former Priests member Katie Alice Greer announces debut solo album Barbarism

05 April 2022, 15:07 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Katie Alice Greer (formerly of Priests) has announced her debut solo album Barbarism with the lead single "FITS/My Love Can’t Be".

"FITS/My Love Can't Be" is Greer's first solo outing since 2020's No One Else On Earth EP, and arrives with a self-directed video where Greer stars as a news anchor.

"I’d spent something like 70 days mostly alone since the pandemic started," Greer explains. "Then one weekend I biked out to Fairfax Avenue and found myself amongst thousands of people. It was jarring … To go from mostly the stillness of a barely-lived-in bedroom to projectile shopping carts, strangers chanting, phalanxes of beige gun toters, and tanks parallel parked outside luxury underwear and grocery shops on Melrose. Stuff was on fire. I think I listened to Exile On Main Street headed home, because it's similarly contradictory and complicated mixture of emotions felt resonant. I wanted to try and capture all that I was feeling without so much as re-telling events that inspired the emotions themselves."

The new song will appear on Greer's debut solo album Barbarism, which is entirely written, performed, produced and mixed by Greer.

Tracklist:

  1. FITS/My Love Can’t Be
  2. Talking In My Sleep (Intro)
  3. Fake Nostalgia
  4. Dreamt I Talk To Horses
  5. Flag Wave Pt. 1

  7. Captivated
  8. No Man
