Vulfpeck fused together from several corners of the Ann Arbor music scene, the University of Michigan alumni site says, and Stratton, who brings the concept in the band's collaborative process, founded Groove Spoon, a ten-piece funk group, in 2008. Stratton majored in performing arts technology at the University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre & Dance, which emphasizes combining music with digital production skills. The band's first release was Beastly, a YouTube video put out in April 2011. A first release that was a YouTube video hints at how central the camera was to the band from the start. Goss recalls of the early days of Vulfpeck, when the group played only in the studio and released songs over the internet, “We didn't really plan on being a band.” They record lo-fi, all in one studio and all playing at the same moment, instead of isolating each track for mixing afterwards. Sessions get through two or three tunes a day, filmed for YouTube as music videos. Recording live and filming the sessions suggests that the band treats the performance itself as the finished product. The group aims for a simple, minimal sound in which each instrument contributes without dominating, recorded live on real instruments with different takes seldom cut and mixed. Tightly composed, mostly instrumental music comes out of teamwork, with lyric ideas and riffs coming from the others besides Stratton. Vulfpeck said no when Chris Thile, the then-new host of A Prairie Home Companion, courted them to be one of his show's house bands. A house-band invitation from Chris Thile, beside early days of playing only in the studio and releasing songs over the internet, may point to a group that drew outside interest from an unconventional start. A major in performing arts technology at a school that emphasizes digital production skills, beside recordings made lo-fi with the full band in one studio, may point to a contrast between the training Stratton had and the way the band records. Frustrated by what was then a streaming revenue of $0.007 per listen, the band in 2014 put out Sleepify, an “album” of ten silent tracks meant to loop while the listener sleeps. Vulfpeck sold out Madison Square Garden in September 2019 as headliners, one of the first to do so without a manager or record label. A silent album about streaming pay, and a sold-out Madison Square Garden show without a manager or record label, may suggest a band whose choices kept returning to how music is sold.
