Katie Von Schleicher is an American songwriter and musician based in Brooklyn, New York. She is the keyboardist and co-lead vocalist of Wilder Maker.[1]

History[edit]

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]
