Lantern Kin is a real-world Appalachian folk collective known for blending mythic storytelling, ambient textures, and psychedelic soul into a hauntingly original sound.

Formed in the misty foothills of southern Appalachia, Lantern Kin is a five-piece ensemble—three men and two women—whose music channels the region’s deep-rooted folklore through surreal lyrics, acoustic instrumentation, and ritualistic harmonies. Their sound fuses fingerpicked guitar, bowed strings, steel and slide guitar, conga drums, and ambient textures, often opening with slow-burning chants that evoke ancestral memory and dreamlike states. Drawing inspiration from Cherokee legends, nursery rhymes, and ghost stories, the band crafts ballads that feel both ancient and otherworldly—songs like “Ash & Antler,” “Jesica’s Dreams,” and “The Witching Hour” explore themes of courage, transformation, and the veil between worlds.

Lantern Kin’s live performances are immersive and ceremonial, often staged in forest clearings, candlelit barns, or moss-covered ruins, with visuals that include lanterns, bones, driftwood, and Appalachian textiles. Their dual lead vocals—one male, one female—are supported by layered backup singers who echo like spirits in the trees. With roots in folk, blues, Hawaiian mele, and ambient psychedelia, Lantern Kin has carved out a niche that’s as groovy as it is ghostly, earning a devoted following among fans of mythic Americana and experimental folk.


Smoke in the Bell Jar

Worth Less a Memory

You Left That Part Out

Falling // Empty (DEMO)

Lyrics by Wendy Babcock 

V1
A switch inside me flipped 
And everything changed 
Suddenly all the thoughts in my head 
Were all rearranged. 
Nothings ever been so clear 
As the day I spoke my truth
It’s like the chain that sets you free
And you’re no longer on mute. 

Chorus 
And I’m free (I’m free)
I feel peace (peace) 
I’m finally whole (I’m whole)
Now love can flow (flow) 
It wasn’t for anyone
I did it for me 
Yeah I unmuted….
My story. 

V2 
The sky opened up 
And the rains poured down 
Cleansed me of everything 
I kept locked up so long 
I learned to love me 
…for me 
And unlearned the parts
That were no longer my story. 

Chorus 
And I’m free (I’m free)
I feel peace (peace) 
I’m finally whole (I’m whole)
Now love can flow (flow) 
It wasn’t for anyone
I did it for me 
Yeah I unmuted….
My story. 

Bridge 
Life doesn’t stand still 
It doesn’t bend or break 
Your words can leave a legacy 
As long as you don’t wait 

Chorus 
And I’m free (I’m free)
I feel peace (peace) 
I’m finally whole (I’m whole)
Now love can flow (flow) 
It wasn’t for anyone
I did it for me 
Yeah I unmuted….
My story. 

There’s still time-
To Unmute your story.
