A few years disappeared into the dark forest of a global pandemic, but in the meantime Kelli Schaefer and her band trod through and emerged with a brand new record, Even Still. With two full-length records and two EP’s already under her belt, Even Still is another pivot in stylistic choice. Offering a fresh take on the age-old singer-songwriter trope, Schaefer delivers haunting melodies over swirling woodwinds, piano, classical guitar, and upright bass. These songs could be the soundtrack to a modern gothic, a playlist for a trudge through a muddy forest, the accompaniment to a subconscious mantra. As expected, Schaefer again demonstrates her refusal to confine herself to a single genre. She patiently excavates her past while firmly planted in the avant-garde.
