Produced by Jonathan Wilson (Dawes, Father John Misty, Conor Oberst), Erin Rae's Lighten Up is a timeless amalgam of classic pop, cosmic country, and indie rock, recorded in California’s Topanga Canyon.

“My last record was a lot of self-assessment and criticism and trying to kick old habits and ways of relating to people,” Rae shared. “This one is about blossoming, opening up, and living a little more in the present moment. Accepting what it is to be human.”

 Alongside Erin and Jonathan Wilson, who contributed various instruments, the album also features guest appearances from fellow rising star singer songwriters Meg Duffy, Ny Oh and Kevin Morby.
