Loud, quiet, loud. This not only describes KatieJane Garside’s singing style but also the way she lives her life. Her maniacal, performance-art-worthy stage presence—first witnessed with early-’90s rockers Daisy Chainsaw—is a stark contrast to the soft-spoken woman who’s spent a substantial amount of her life living in seclusion at sea—as a teenager with her parents and sister on the family yacht (four years), then with romantic/musical partner Chris Whittingham and their daughter on the family sailboat (four more years). liar, flower is Garside and Whittingham’s current band—an outgrowth of Ruby Throat—and the duo is set to release debut album Geiger Counter via One Little Independent on August 21. These are the real isolation drills.
