Taste Test: Rachel K Collier claws through misogyny like a ‘Dinosaur’
Electronica artist details a brush with misogyny in her career with her new single.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Fragile men can’t handle strong, independent women. It hasn’t been more clear than it has right now in this moment, as such movements as #MeToo and #TimesUp continue to give women a voice like never before. Welsh electronica force Rachel K Collier came face-to-face with misogyny in a very direct, career-threatening way, and so, she chronicles her story with the wolfish new alt-pop gem “Dinosaur,” which engages both tribal-bent experiments and a mainstream slather. Soaring, nearly pre-civilization screeches and tears murmur just behind Collier’s towering, relentless and downright monstrous vocal that aims to seek and destroy the sexist system. “He assumes ’cause I’m a girl, I have no clue,” she hisses in dagger-like barbs, her warrior spirit rising to the surface. “Modern social suicide playing out before my eyes,” she sings as just a statement of fact before she feeds such archaic beliefs to the production’s razor fangs and growling belly.
“Dinosaur” is the first of many singles to come for Collier this year, and we’re ravenous for more.
