Eliza McLamb Shares New Single ‘Suffering’, Announces Sophomore Album ‘Good Story’

Indie-rock singer-songwriter Eliza McLamb has unveiled her biting new single Suffering, the latest taste of her forthcoming sophomore album Good Story, set for release on 24th October. Playfully self-effacing yet deeply incisive, Suffering opens with a baroque-tinged piano before erupting into scuzzy guitar textures, capturing McLamb’s wry reflections on self-inflicted pain and the allure of holding wounds close.

Speaking about the track, she explains: “I came to see suffering as a creative act — something I often wanted to feel and thus created situations where it was possible. I realised my own role in manufacturing pain, and I wanted to play with the idea of suffering as something I sometimes chose as a willing experience.”

The new single follows earlier glimpses of Good Story through Every Year and Like The Boys, as well as standalone track Quitting. Produced by Sarah Tudzin (illuminati hotties) and recorded with a stellar line-up including Jacob Blizard (Lucy Dacus) on guitar, Jason McGerr (Death Cab for Cutie) on drums, and Sarah Goldstone (Chappell Roan, Boygenius) on keys, the album marks McLamb’s most ambitious work to date.

At just 23, McLamb has already carved a reputation as one of indie’s most observant and original voices. Her 2024 debut Going Through It chronicled a turbulent upbringing and resonated widely, taking her from TikTok beginnings and podcasting with Binchtopia to signing with Royal Mountain and touring internationally. With Good Story, she turns the lens back on herself — not just interrogating her past, but also examining the very act of storytelling as an artist.

The record’s artwork, which depicts McLamb holding a makeshift trophy cobbled together with her mother, encapsulates this theme of self-reflection and irony. “If you get really good at telling the story of who you are, you become the story you told instead of the ever-dynamic, ever-changing person you have to be,” she says. “I did really well telling the story of who I am, but I began asking: What’s the point of it?”

From the rollicking riffs of Like The Boys to the swelling farewell of California and the liberating closer Getting Free, Good Story positions Eliza McLamb as an artist willing to dismantle her own narratives while writing new ones. It’s a record about transition, resilience, and finding meaning not in resolution, but in acceptance.
