Songs We Love: Katie Von Schleicher, 'Midsummer'
The hazy pop song is from the New York songwriter's upcoming album S***** Hits. She defines the title as "good-time songs you can have a bad night with, driving alone."
"I know it's wrong, but I can't stop," Katie Von Schleicher groans in "Midsummer." Her album is full of such self-deprecating admissions; it's an album about looking out from inside your own delusions and bad habits, begging yourself defines her album's title, in part, as "good-time songs you can have a bad night with, driving alone." It's apt; the album's 11 tracks are buoyant like sunny '70s pop, filtered through the lens of distorted indie rock and unrelenting self-critique.
