“Every Step Is an Ocean” is the first of Katie von Schleicher's 2023 singles revealed to be from her forthcoming record A Little Touch of Schleicher in the Night, due October 20 via Sipsman.

Like the previously released singles from the LP, "Every Step Is an Ocean" was produced by von Schleicher and Sam Owens (Sam Evian), and recorded with a bunch of poker buddies the two accumulated during the pandemic. It is a love song about a frozen moment in time, expanded outward.

“When we got to Sam’s and set up on the first day, we played ‘400 Pillows’ first, just after dark. It felt immediately like a warm blanket,” von Schleicher says. The group worked daily and concluded promptly at 5pm so that Owens could make an elaborate meal. And then: poker. “Poker! This record was punctuated by a lot of hanging out. I put my trust in the people making it. I wanted to listen back and hear their voices, so to speak, and less the echo chamber of my own interior obsessions.” Von Schleicher also leaned into her players’ shared musical history, culled from years of playing music in the van on tour. “It’s the internal language of our friendship, our shared touchstones, and I am unapologetically going for them. It’s for pleasure I guess. I wouldn’t say I made music just for pleasure before.”

A Little Touch of Schleicher in the Night coheres through an array of moods and characters. The widescreen “Texas” closes side A with sketches of frozen moments in the southwest. On “Overjoyed” she chases enjoyment despite having a migraine that lasted two weeks on tour. The record concludes with “Jeanine,” a love song for assholes, written from the POV of an asshole. “I’m drawn to unreliable narrators,” she says, winking overdramatically.
