Her music, drenched in :, : layers of warmth and fuzz, mines depression, devotion, power, : :' and anxiety without reserve. ': ,: :, : But if channeling weighty subject matter is a constant in Von : :' SchleicherÆs music, so too is transforming that material into ': ,: sonic landscapes that defy expectations. On Von SchleicherÆs :, : second record, Consummation, she blasts past the lo-fi power : :' ballads of her debut Shitty Hits (2017) with a severe expansion ': ,: of her sonic palette; its 13 shape-shifting songs depict a :, : deeply personal exploration of trauma. The result is both potent : :' and listenable; strange and familiar; intense and ': ,: entertainingùand, perhaps most of all, teeming with life. :, : : :' Von Schleicher pulls the listener in from the outset. The ': ,: synths and drum machines of the album opener ôYou Remind Meö :, : evoke a room depressurizing, signaling a crossover into : :' unsettling, dream-like territory. Her self-assured voice floats ': ,: above the fray, her lyrics pointed: ôAnd now I canÆt confine my :, : rage.ö The following songs vary in genre and tempo, ranging from : :' a pulsating, electronic rocker (ôBrutalityö) to upbeat and ': ,: jagged kraut (ôWheel,ö ôCaged Sleepö) and a melancholic, cosmic :, : ballad (ôGrossö). ThereÆs even a brief, haunting crooner of a : :' track (ôStrangest Thingö). What they share is lyrical ': ,: concision, emotional heft, and conscientious production. :, : : :' Consummation is, in part, inspired by an alternate ': ,: interpretation of HitchcockÆs Vertigo. In 2018, Von Schleicher :, : rewatched the seminal film and was struck by its largely : :' unanalyzed subtext of abuse. She knew immediately that this ': ,: hidden narrative, which spoke to her personal experience, would :, : be the basis of her next album. : :' ': ,: While writing and engineering the record, she found sanctuary in :, : the words of other women: namely, Carmen Maria MachadoÆs Her : :' Body and Other Parties, Rachel CuskÆs Outline trilogy, and ': ,: Rebecca SolnitÆs A Field Guide to Getting Lost. The latter :, : proved particularly influential: Soon after revisiting Vertigo, : :' Von Schleicher stumbled upon SolnitÆs lacerating take on the ': ,: film. Solnit describes the ôwandering, stalking, hauntingö of :, : romantic pursuit that it depicts as ôconsummation,ö while ôreal : :' communionöùunderstanding and mutual respect between two ': ,: loversùis, to the men in the film, ôunimaginable.ö The :, : consequence is a fundamental failure of communication. At its : :' core, Consummation evokes the pain of being unable to bridge ': ,: that vast psychic distance between oneself and another. :, : : :' Can love that destroys, Von Schleicher asks, be love at all? At ': ,: the close of the album, it seems sheÆs arrived at something of :, : an answer, at least for herself. On ôNothing Lasts,ö the : :' recordÆs final song, a romantic verse gives way to an anthemic, ': ,: albeit fatalistic chorusùone that feels something like a sigh of :, : relief: ôCause nothing lasts for long, nothing lasts, see itÆs : :' gone.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
