Today Katie Alice Greer shares a phantasmagoric video for “Captivated,” the entrancing latest single from her highly anticipated debut solo album Barbarism, out via FourFour Records on June 24th.
Of the video’s concept, Greer shares: "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.” “Captivated” follows May’s quavering ballad “Dreamt I Talk To Horses” and April’s arresting lead single “FITS/My Love Can’t Be” which came with the album’s announcement accompanied by a Network-inspired video.
