The second single from the band’s forthcoming debut, “Nothing Feels Natural”, is an absurdist punk romp through the illusion of choice magical psychology, deceptive anthropology”—delivered by a band fighting to survive within DC’s cracked crucible of power.
Moving through burnished rumbling to spiny po-going, haunted cynicism, and boiling thrash, “Pink White House” steadily inflates like a runaway , pumped up by Katie Alice Greer’s vocal mania. “Ooh baby, my American dream,” she leers as she sends up the expensive vacations sold as reprieve from the grind of everyday life—and suddenly, “Pink White House” shifts from good-humored rabble-rousing to a darker conclusion. G. L. Jaguar’s guitar seems to drill into the center of the sun; Greer abandons her satire to lambast cogs in the machine “too pitiful to be obscene, too cowardly to be embarrassing.” Priests’ subject is well worn.
Priests are an American punk band formed in 2012. The members of Priests run Sister Polygon Records.
