Today, Katie von Schleicher shares the first of several songs that she’s been stockpiling and recording since 2020. “Elixir” features a duet with Lady Lamb’s Aly Spaltro.

It's clear "Elixir" is a fun and surprising side of von Schleicher, but she’ll be the first to assure it’s always been there, just not in her music. “How can I reach out to the poems that I’ve loved, embrace plain speech more, and how, for just one goddamned time, can I bring my sense of humor into my music?” she asked me, rhetorically.

Von Schleicher’s last LP was May 2020’s urgent and propulsive Consummation, a critical success with accolades from NME, NPR, and Pitchfork. Since then, she’s taken creative writing classes that were supposed to be good, wrote poems that were trying to be good, and began engineering and producing for others, something she’s actually good at. After spearheading Cassandra Jenkins’ An Overview on Phenomenal Nature and Ichiko Aoba’s Windswept Adan releases at Ba Da Bing, her longtime label job, she gave up her teenage dream of marketing other people’s records to engineer full time, co-producing and recording the latest from Frankie Cosmos and Dougie Poole.
