Mt. Kili Unveils a Touching Indie Folk Tale with Their Latest 10-track Album, Bringing Heartfelt Acoustic Vibes to the Forefront
Nestled in the quaint landscapes of Asheville, North Carolina, Mt. Kili has emerged as a beacon of indie folk and acoustic sincerity. Drawing comparisons to the emotive storytelling of Iron & Wine and the delicate musical arrangements of Bon Iver, Mt. Kili’s journey is one of authenticity and passion.
Their debut album, “Ten Songs for my Girls, for Now and Later,” reveals a poignant narrative penned by lead singer Rick Sichta, dedicated to his twin daughters. Employing nothing but his voice, a classical guitar, and a dated recording system in the comfort of his home, Sichta has infused each track with a tender, personal touch that resonates deeply with the listener.
With the release of their studio single, “Tomorrow,” on December 8, 2023, Mt. Kili expanded their musical horizons. The collective genius of Rick Sichta’s storytelling, Matt Shepard’s rhythmic mastery of drums and percussion, and Liliana Hudgens’ captivating union of female vocals and the rare singing saw, create an auditory experience that’s both expansive and intimate.
This combination crafts songs that envelop listeners in a warm embrace, inviting them to explore the depths of their own emotions and experiences. You can listen to our full playlist which contains the artist’s music, and know more about the artist by scrolling down the page.
As a music curator at PopHits.Co, I am enthralled by the ethereal quality of “Fall Asleep in the Sunlight.” “Their undefined, genuine, and unique style is a testament to the enduring power of indie folk and acoustic music. Mt. Kili reminds us why we turn to music in our most reflective moments – for solace, understanding, and a connection to the myriad emotions that define the human experience.”
In an era where music often gravitates towards grandiosity, Mt. Kili’s approach offers a refreshing reprieve. Their contribution is an invaluable addition to the tapestry of US culture, providing a relaxing backdrop for moments of introspection or quiet companionship.
The band navigates the terrain of alt-folk, Americana, and singer-songwriter tradition with grace, allowing the simplicity of male vocals intertwined with serene female vocals and acoustic charm to stand at the forefront of their sound.
