Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue. 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). Fans and new listeners alike often remark that her anxious, confessional lyrics are "a little too relatable."
In October 2023, Pacing released her debut album Real poetry is always about plants and birds and trees and the animals and milk and honey breathing in the pink but real life is behind a screen. It was named Best Folk Music by Bandcamp Daily, and cemented Pacing as a leader in a new wave of anti-folk music reminiscent of the early 2000s New York scene; one born in an era that is distinctly Very Online.
Pacing is based in San Jose, CA where she is heavily involved in the local DIY music scene and helps run the Heavy Lemon booking collective. In 2024, Pacing joined San Jose’s own legendary punk and indie label Asian Man Records.
In 2025, Pacing toured extensively as a power trio (with Ben Krock on guitars and Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:2kkcnyxHEWi3jjg9SSW24B" data-name="vonnie whatever">vonnie whatever</a> on drums and vocals) supporting <a href="spotify:artist:32kCEAvtuFzIZA15zrhQDW" data-name="Cheekface">Cheekface</a> and then <a href="spotify:artist:4IDpDJIDfK96HMLD4Tphyl" data-name="AJJ">AJJ</a>.
Pacing’s self-produced sophomore album PL*NET F*TNESS was released in July 2025 via Asian Man Records and features collaborations with hometown heroes <a href="spotify:artist:0SclPISF5pHutoTooqCfFJ" data-name="Star 99">Star 99</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:17RK5BpOKQ4YVtCHFWKK3y" data-name="Career Woman">Career Woman</a>.
