    The Brooklyn artist plumbs darker depths than before, offsetting her stark lyrics with bright, jangling melodies in the search for inner-peace

  2. 8.0 |   The Independent

    Each track makes unpredictable bedfellows of certain sounds; even the deceptively simple guitar ballad, “Gross”, drops a synth that sends ripples through Von Schleicher’s lilting top register

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Layered vocal effects and unexpected rhythms on tracks like "Messenger" and "Loud" reward repeated listens, while the pounding, jagged drums of "Caged Sleep" and blissed-out fuzz-pop of "Wheel" offer immediate satisfaction. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Clash

    A cohesive, nuanced, highly impressive statement

  8. 7.4 |   Pitchfork

    With virtuosic arrangements and cavernous production flourishes, the Brooklyn songwriter’s second full-length is an ambitious record that miraculously does not feel like it’s taking on too much

  9. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Channelling Cate Le Bon in its more melodic, piano-led moments and Aldous Harding in its evasive turns, Consummation is a patchwork of conflicting stances and miscommunications

  10. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Too opaque to fully connect, Consummation keeps its mystery high. Print edition only
