lighthearted
Twin sisters Eliza and Gracie have been playing music together since they can remember, but the band officially formed in 2019. “lighthearted” is an alternative folk indie rock band based in Athens, Georgia. Ethan Fogus of Immersive Atlanta said it best: "[they write] the type of hushed, kaleidoscopic songs that appeal to anyone that takes to gorgeous harmonies and plumbing the depths of human nature. Together, the band makes perfect music for any long, introspective drive."
They released their debut album in April 2023, releasing four singles in the process that span timbres from introspective and chill to fresh and buoyant. Upon releasing their debut album "from here on out," the title track off the record was added to Spotify editorial playlists "Fresh Finds," "Fresh Finds Indie," and "Fresh Finds Folk." As a fully independent artist, lighthearted has been on tour and love playing to crowds across the country.

“Tethered” means to be fastened or restrained, but it also is defined as the limit of one’s strength or resources. “tethered” is a song about feeling stuck in being attached to someone once they’ve begun to move on. Being attached to someone is a beautiful thing until it becomes limiting. The lyrics of this song grapple with recognizing the beauty of growing close to someone while holding frustration for the ramifications of being close knit.
