(2020) Liar, Flower - Geiger Counter
Review:
Liar, Flower is the alter ego of Ruby Throat, consisting of artists KatieJane Garside (Daisy Chainsaw, QueenAdreena, Lalleshwari) and Chris Whittingham. In 1991 with Daisy Chainsaw, KatieJane Garside emerged as a furious icon of the alt-girl underworld in a torn dress and matted hair howling ‘Love Your Money’ a confused and violent mixture of lust and loathing. Afterward came QueenAdreena who were bolder, darker, louder, unpredictable and violent. Courtney Love proclaimed her as one of the three instigators of the “Riot Grrrl” scene, along with Courtney (of course) and Babes in Toyland’s Kat Bjelland. Katie has since gone on to inspire and enthuse a new generation of artists all the while keeping her mysterious and creative integrity intact, a true artist in every sense. Having spent the past 14 years living a life of isolation on a sailboat while raising a daughter, Garside explains, “this record was conceived and collected through a year of submersive meditation, trance and improvisation, insisted by my bird bones insisting; I went down deep into the soil, set alight corrupt files and malware, something needed routing out, taking me ever deeper.” Furthermore, Whittingham comments that all of the duo’s records are “played, recorded, mixed, mastered, art-worked, videoed, etc., solely by us, and in the end, there’s probably little else to say beyond the recordings.”
