History

In 2015, Von Schleicher signed with Ba Da Bing! Records to release her debut mini-album Bleaksploitation. The album was met with favorable reviews. [2] [3] [4] [5]

Von Schleicher is known for her dark pop songs, often recorded on four-track cassette.

Her debut full-length Shitty Hits was praised by Pitchfork, PopMatters, and Bandcamp. [6] [7] [8] Paul Thompson described Shitty Hits as "a kaleidoscope in grayscale: creaky chamber-pop, dirge-driven doom-folk, hushed solo piano works." [9]
