No Identity (2017)
Mirroring the expansive noise and incisive shadow of PJ Harvey, with the fearless abandon of Nick Cave, and vocal play of Bjork, Kelli Schaefer’s No Identity travels at light speed through the American landscape so many left and forgot to examine. Driven to explore the darkest corners of her own origin, and also to step outside of herself, No Identity came into being after two years of work. It is a genesis story marked with resolve and technical prowess - muscular guitar, rumbling bass, and vocals that bend over themselves and spring back to shape. The melodies are pop with meat on their bones, robust and full, unafraid to stick in your head and to your ribs. It is art-pop with depth and vision, the product of an artist who not only carved out a space for herself, but has grown into a voice that has the potential to shape a landscape.

601 EP (2013)
Kelli Schaefer recorded her 601 EP mostly alone (with major contributions from guitarist Ryan Lynch) in the Amigo Amiga Homeland throughout 2012. The album was released on a beautiful 10" clear vinyl and features sweeping tracks "Giants," "Calm Down," "I'll Take You," and "Inside The House Where Nobody Lives." 601 is a look into the mind of a fractured-phsyche - a take on current culture and a demonstration of creativity where beauty is found not in spite of limitations, but in-part because of those limitations.

Ghost of the Beast (2011)
Ghost of the Beast is a record that gets better with each listen. The album was initially intended to be a collection of the first Kelli Schaefer "singles" released on Amigo Amiga throughout our first year, but the result would be surprisingly cohesive and moving.
