Paper Lights formed around vocalist Luna Celeste and guitarist Ethan Hayes in Los Angeles. They started by self-releasing an EP and playing local shows, building a following without much label interest at first.
Their debut album 'Ephemeral Embrace' came out in 2015, followed by 'Sanctuary' in 2018 and 'Atlas' in 2021. The band expanded to include multi-instrumentalist Oliver James and drummer Max Anderson. Songs like 'On Your Way' and 'I Caught Myself Dreaming' show their range from indie folk to more atmospheric arrangements.
Some critics found their music overly sentimental, but they kept working with their core sound. Their songs have appeared in films and television shows, and they've toured regularly.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
