Featured ReleaseKelli Schaefer
Even Still SG063 • 5/10/2024 Kelli Schaefer's latest record could be the soundtrack to a modern gothic, a playlist for a trudge through a muddy forest or the accompaniment to a subconscious mantra. Even Still, released May 10, 2024, demonstrates Shaefer's deftness in refusing to confine herself to a single genre. With two full-length records and two EPs under her belt, Schaefer pivots in stylistic choice, excavating her past while planting herself deeper into the avant-garde. Offering a fresh take on the age-old singer-songwriter trope, she delivers haunting melodies over swirling woodwinds, piano, classical guitar, and upright bass. |
