'Glad To Be Here' is the new single from Katie Von Schleicher. The first side of a new 7" entitled 'Glad To Be Here' / 'Party Dawn', and set for release on 4 May via Full Time Hobby / Ba Da Bing, the brilliantly slow-burning cut is the first material to come from the Brooklyn songwriter since her acclaimed debut LP, Shitty Hits, last year. Blending a vintage, gently honky-tonk hue with her wonderfully crooning, catchy vocal work, Von Schleicher is set to make a name for herself in the burgeoning alt-indie scene. Of the track she explains, "On a break from touring this winter I went alone to Maryland, where I am originally from, and made these two songs, taking the gear I’ve very happily accrued since making my album Shitty Hits. I built a fire, I set up my gold drum kit, I saw a ton of stars and felt smushed by silence, and it was lonely, so I made these songs. 'Glad to Be Here' is where I find myself right now." We're certainly glad to have new music from Katie Von Schleicher. -G.O'B
