LINGERFOLK
Stay for the whole song.
Lingerfolk is folk music made as a practice of attention — unhurried songs, closely listened to, that let the mind settle and something quiet germinate.
Nobody's being sold a record — they're being invited to sit in a quieter world for an hour, together.
What is lingerfolk?
What is lingerfolk?
Lingerfolk is folk music made as a practice of attention — unhurried songs, closely listened to, that let the mind settle and something quiet germinate. Some songs don't ask for your attention. They make room for it.
How do you listen to it?
One song, or one album, all the way through — no skipping, no phone, nothing else on. Then the talk, for as long as it lasts.
Who makes it?
Any musician whose songs ask a room to settle rather than shout. Lingerfolk is convened by Mt. Kili of Asheville, North Carolina — the first lingerfolk band.
Listen
The playlist. Mt. Kili first, then kindred songs — unhurried, closely listened to.
The listening night
Once a month, a room goes quiet on purpose. One album, played whole, no talking over it — then the talk, for as long as it lasts. The first full Lingerfolk listening night is January 3, 2027, in Asheville. Any town can host one; the kit for it lives at lingerfolk.org.
In their words
"Life is about how much love we can create. Our music is made to turn someone's divine light on." — Rick Sichta, Mt. Kili
The compilation
Lingerfolk Vol. 1 arrives May 1, 2027 — songs from the artists gathered here, released together. Submissions open in early 2027.
One letter a month
The playlist, the night, the songs. One letter a month — nothing else.
