The Lickets are an American experimental folk music group based in San Francisco. The group centers around multi-instrumentalists; Lena Buell, Mitch Greer and Rachel Smith. The collective is described as a "transcendental mini-orchestra", and their work has been called "empyrean, luminously beautiful"( Lost at E Minor) "Haunting, eerie, and altogether unique"(Music Emissions) and "Truly something magical. Its bizarre classical music that's repetitious and hypnotic in the way that Phillip Glass can sometimes be. Its also occasionally elevating. It feels like music made by magical lord of the rings elves and its worth listening to. Among other things, it is deeply enchanting."( H Magazine) The Fly described them as "Think following the Pied Piper in 2022 across all lands and gradually building up a band of all sounds with an aim to drive out the mechanical rats."(THE FLY) made with "hypnotic, aggressively thrusting streams of acoustic guitars, whispered vocals, vibes, and cellos."
