Katie Alice Greer shares new single "Captivated"
Former Priests member Katie Alice Greer has released new cut "Captivated" as the third taster of her upcoming debut solo album Barbarism.
"Captivated" arrives with a video by Greer and Kathryn Vetter Miller, and will feature on Barbarism with earlier outinngs "Dreamt I Talked To Horses" and "FITS/My Love Can’t Be".
Speaking about the song and video, Greer said, "This is a creepy song, in my mind, and I wanted to lean into that for both the production and the video's narrative. In the video, a woman is intermittently experiencing time in reverse. She sees a plane fly overhead in a field and moments later, it flies backwards. She carries a suitcase full of money and now wonders where it came from. After experiencing time in reverse, she questions whether or not her experiences ever happened at all; she wonders whether she is in the present moment, caught in a daydream or a memory. In the video we are experiencing her mind’s chopped and shuffled versions of both, none of what she’s seeing or remembering (wandering at night, a woman in a yellow skirt, a gloved hand reaching for her in the field) makes any sense to her anymore. She is losing her sense of reality, and simultaneously trying to piece it back together with the few and unreliable clues she has left."
Barbarism is entirely written, performed, produced and mixed by Greer.
