Lizzy McAlpine Older (and Wiser) 2LP

Older (and Wiser) showcases Lizzy McAlpine's most personal and resonant songwriting yet. This edition features the first-ever vinyl pressings of the deluxe tracks "Method Acting – Demo," "Spring Into Summer," "Pushing It Down and Praying," "Soccer Practice" and "Force of Nature," plus live versions of four of those deluxe songs recorded during the Older tour. Including two exclusive to this vinyl release.

Managing to be both bold and understated, 'Older' sees Lizzy layer her take on confessional indie-folk with widescreen instrumentation to gorgeous effect. A luscious album that sees the singer shrug off the pressures of present day virality in favour of creating something much more classic.

With Older, McAlpine enters a new era of her career, armed with bluesy seventh chords and simple rhythms. She's done the work; she's done the soul-searching; she's done the meticulous labour of shaving her thoughts down to their purest, most authentic truths. Consider the ceiling of her last album cycle shattered.

She's been one of Gen Z's best indie darlings for years, but this is the album she needed to make. Overall, that combination of conversational, vulnerable lyricism mixed with impeccable baroque pop arrangements makes Older as unique for the pop world as it is beautiful. All in all, it's a deeply honest album, both in its exploration of aging and in its rejection of pop cliches.

On her third album, 2024's Older, singer/songwriter Lizzy McAlpine catches you off guard, crafting songs that are as lyrical and delicately rendered as they are affecting....a lovely and bittersweet experience.
