It’d been 10 months since the band members of sister-led, world-folk music outfit Rising Appalachia had seen each other, much less played music together. A grand reunion took place for a one-off live stream show in 2020 at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, NC, but positivity and creativity took root, and the very next day the band remained in the studio with no plan except to “Press record and see what happens.†What poured out of the six members of Rising Appalachia was nothing short of divine musical guidance―a full-length album dubbed The Lost Mystique of Being in the Know. This new collection of nine songs is abstract; a concept album of sorts of which the band calls “the most dynamic fun we have ever had in the studio.†Rising Appalachia―Leah Song, Chloe Smith, Biko Casini, Arouna Diara, Duncan Wickel, and David Brown―removed themselves from the outcome, let the songs lead, and were rewarded with a gorgeous snapshot of not just the music, but the time and circumstance that forged it.
