Eliza McLamb makes no secret of her own sensitivity. She wanders through the world with wide eyes, thin skin and a keen ability to poke fun at her own sentimentality while also treasuring it as her superpower. On her debut album Going Through It, the musician, essayist and podcaster—who semi-jokingly coined the phrase “bitches hate nuance”—shows a characteristically thoughtful embrace of life’s subtleties and contradictions. Going Through It takes the observational, humbly critical songwriting that propelled her two EPs, Memos and Salt Circle and refines it, looking back towards her past and assessing how it informs her future.
Birds chirp in the background of the soft, fingerpicked opener “Before,” as McLamb longs for “the time before knowing / the silence preceding a knock at the door” and tries to reconcile her desire to regain lost innocence with an understanding that she “can’t live in Before.” The following track, “Glitter,” is a bittersweet ballad about what happens when the wildness of girlhood is disrupted and forcibly tamed by the expectations of womanhood. It feels like a sister to the highlights from Lucy Dacus’ Home Video, with its warm, memory-hopping narrative and the intensity of its central friendship blurring the line between platonic and romantic.
