Artist News Releases
Katie Von Schleicher announces second album Consummation
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 2 March 2020
Katie Von Schleicher last week confirmed that her second album ‘Consummation’ – the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Shitty Hit’ – will be released in May through Full Time Hobby.
The album, she says, was inspired by an alternate reading of Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Vertigo’, exploring the subtext of abuse throughout the film that many critics have raised in the 62 years since it was originally released.
Alongside the album announcement is first single ‘Caged Sleep’, which was actually a last minute addition to the LP.
She explains: “While the rest of the songs were being mixed, I had a vivid dream with a snake the colour of lapis lazuli. That became ‘Caged Sleep’, an ode to a dream that ended a period of my life. Some people hate dream stories, so for those humans I have included saxophones, synthesisers and claps to court your attention”.
Whatever your view, there’s got to be something to interest you in that list. Check out the video for ‘Caged Sleep’ here:
‘Consummation’ is set for release on 22 May.
