Biography
Little Lungs has never shied away from vulnerability. The Baltimore-based band, led by principal songwriter and lyricist Leena Rhodes, combines intimate and sincere lyricism with intricate guitar melodies and pulsating rhythms to create a sprawling universe of folk and indie rock. Backed by Brendan Russell (bass), Eli Simms (drums), Ricky Schwarzenberg (guitar), Little Lungs actualizes the obscure emotions you can’t quite explain: the innate feeling of absence; the flux of infatuation; the beauty of intoxication.
Little Lungs’ new record, The Heat, is their most cathartic offering yet, examining the love, loss, and rebirth left in the wake of a tumultuous and volatile relationship with vivid imagery and decisive storytelling.
Their previous releases include three self-released EPs: Self-Titled EP (2017), Get Your Kicks and Go (2019), and Better In Blue (2021), and a full length record, The Sound That Sent Me Flying (2016).

“[The Heat] is an album that shines for its honest and intriguing story telling and its expert song construction, that finds Little Lungs more accessible than ever. ”
- Prism Reviews
“Insomniac is not one of those songs that grabs you by the collar or explodes with energy. This is a composition that drifts in, sits beside you and gently glows. ”
