Indie-rock sensation Eliza McLamb is set to release her highly anticipated sophomore album, “Good Story,” on October 24th via Royal Mountain Records. Following the acclaim of her debut album, “Going Through It,” McLamb’s new project promises to further establish her as a formidable voice in the rock genre. The album introduces the lead single “Like the Boys,” accompanied by an engaging music video that showcases McLamb’s lyrical storytelling and dynamic sound.

Described by Rolling Stone as “one of this year’s best kept secrets,” McLamb deftly combines incisive lyrics with engaging guitar-driven instrumentals. In “Like the Boys,” she explores themes of identity and the complexities of gender dynamics, offering a reflective take on her experiences. The track serves as a powerful introduction to what listeners can expect with “Good Story.”

The album features collaboration with notable musicians, including guitarist Jacob Blizard of Lucy Dacus fame and Jason McGerr of Death Cab for Cutie on drums. McLamb’s songwriting on “Good Story” encompasses a rich emotional spectrum, inviting listeners into her narrative as she grapples with the stories we tell about ourselves and the impulses that drive those narratives.

Visually, the album artwork portrays McLamb holding a homemade trophy, symbolizing both her achievements and the introspective journey leading to this album’s creation. The cover reflects a self-awareness about the stories we construct around our lives, as she contemplates the value and implications of those narratives.

The journey to “Good Story” has been transformative for McLamb. After touring “Going Through It,” she found herself reevaluating her creative impulses, leading her to experiment with newfound writing experiences within the vibrant scenes of New York City. This change of environment invigorated her artistic process, allowing her to craft songs that resonate on multiple levels.

“Good Story” aims to dissect not only her personal experiences but also the broader understanding of storytelling itself. With tracks that touch on past relationships and reflect on personal growth, McLamb examines the complexities of life through an unvarnished lens. Songs like “California” express a bittersweet farewell to her previous home, while the track “Getting Free” encapsulates themes of overcoming struggles and embracing newfound freedom.
