Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue (San Jose, CA). McTigue’s writing style has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age), “distinctively sardonic” (Various Small Flames), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources). She describes her listeners as “kids who were raised by Kimya Dawson into anxious adults who love Sidney Gish.”

Pacing’s sound is grounded by McTigue’s Floridian folk and bluegrass origins, but covers a lot of ground, from indie pop to harsh noise. Her arrangements center around her crystal clear voice, with creative backing vocals and foley that emphasize her storytelling and humor.
