The discography of American funk group Vulfpeck currently consists of six studio albums, two live album, four extended plays, six compilation albums and one silent album. The band have released their music independently through their label Vulf Records since 2011.
From 2011 to 2014, the band released four EPs consecutively and further released a Spotify-exclusive silent album titled Sleepify to exploit a loophole in the streaming services' distribution of royalties.[1] Their debut studio album, Thrill of the Arts, was released in 2015 and debuted at number 16 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart.[2] The Beautiful Game followed almost exactly a year later in 2016, and Mr Finish Line in 2017 – the latter notable for its prolific featured artist line-up.[3] Following Hill Climber in 2018,[4] the band headlined a sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden which was recorded and released as their first live album in December 2019.[5] It was one of the first times that the venue had been sold out by an independent artist.[6] The band's next album, The Joy of Music, the Job of Real Estate, was a compilation album consisting of four new and five previously released tracks[a] as well as a track by the band Earthquake Lights, who won Vulfpeck's auction for the rights to track 10.[7]
From 2020 to 2022, the band issued six albums under the Vulf Vault header with each album focusing on a different band member. The first four were vinyl-exclusive compilation albums. The latter two records uniquely contain all-new material and were not released under Vulfpeck, but rather under the respective band member's name.[8] After a brief hiatus, the band released their fifth studio album, Schvitz, in 2022.[9] The band's sixth album, Clarity of Cal, was recorded during live shows at the Palladium in Los Angeles and UC Theatre in Berkeley and released in 2025.[10] The band's second live album, MSG II, was recorded in 2025 at Madison Square Garden.[11]
The band has released three concert films in support of their albums: Vulfpeck Live at Madison Square Garden in 2019, Clarity of Cal (Live from the Palladium) and MSG II in 2025.
Vulfpeck founder Jack Stratton does most of the band's production work.[12] Personnel credits (such as songwriting, session musicians, production and technical credits) of original songs are listed on official music video descriptions on Vulf Records YouTube channel.[13]
