Eliza Noxon’s first release since 2017 follows her journey through early adulthood with some of the most raw and heartfelt songwriting I’ve come across recently. Her blend of folk and indie is at times expansive, with cathartic choruses that you just want to sing along to, but is elsewhere so incredibly intimate that you just have to stop everything you’re doing and cling to every word, every strum of her acoustic guitar. She speaks of her brother’s death in a deeply personal language that encapsulates how, despite grief being a shared experience amongst us all, the way each of us feel that loss is highly specific. Beautiful yet heartwrenching. LT

Out now, self release
