With her new record, Katie Von Schleicher's songs take a softer approach, full of luscious keyboards and a renewed comfort in the stripped down arrangements, punctuated with thoughtful strings by frequent collaborator Gabriel Birnbaum. Von Schleicher is in a reflective mood, touching on personal growth and strengths.

Consummation is a record that hits so many varied atmospheres and a record that shows a great deal of self-belief while also recognizing and dealing with moments of insecurity. There is a wonderful depth of emotion and varying of tones that keeps the listener consistently engaged and entranced.
