Kitty Craft

Kitty Craft is Pamela Valfer.

Debuting in 1994 with the S/T cassette release on the Australian, Toytown label, and IT’S STUPID EP 7" in 1995, Pam’s sound was originally a low-tech affair. 1997’s I GOT RULEZ EP 7” expanded her sound with keys & sampler, leading to 1998 release of BEATS & BREAKS FROM THE FLOWER PATCH (originally released in the USA by Kindercore Records). In 2000, her 2nd full-length album, CATSKILLS followed on March Records in the USA. Both albums had Japanese tours and Japanese CD releases with Rock Records.

Around 2003/2004 after the completion of her 3rd Album... Pam dropped the mic, hung up her headphones, and put kitty craft into hibernation. The album was put down and filed away. Pam then focused on her visual and multimedia art, and career as an art professor.

In 2019, kitty craft woke from her hibernation and quietly without fanfare, released "Beats and Breaks from the Flower Patch" and "Catskills" on all streaming & digital platforms. Followed soon after by "Lost Tapes", a gem of an album, comprised exclusively of previously unreleased songs recorded as a full album in 2003, but was shelved never to see the light of day...until now.

In some kind of pandemic zeitgeist, along with stuff like Lofi Girl/ChilledCow, a 90's aesthetic resurgence, and the popularity of new and old vinyl records - kitty craft has been adopted by a whole new group of digital natives. Amazing and unexpected.

Valentine's Day 2022 brought us kitty craft's first full-length LP vinyl record... MEW (1994-2004), an anthology album with tracks spanning all eras... MEW, shows an artist with a clear vision from the start.
