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]

gollark: Video compression is very cool, though. It's basically how we have DVDs and streaming services and YouTube.
gollark: I guess so.
gollark: Videos aren't actually as big as equivalent image sequences because of very clever compression algorithms like H.264, VP9 and AV1, but still very large, especially 4K and such.
gollark: Images are *pretty* big, although new lossy compression stuff like AVIF can get really small sizes without horrible quality loss, and videos are gigantic since they're effectively images and audio stitched together at 60 frames a second (well, or 25, or various other ones).
gollark: Anyway, text is not big - you can fit an entire book (again with compression) into less than a megabyte. In many ebooks the cover image and such are larger than the actual text.
