| 4.0 excellent | ajcollins15 | April 11th 24 |
The fourth album from singer/songwriter Lizzy McAlpine presents a poignant exploration of aging and its implications. "Older" offers a simplistic yet heartfelt narrative, akin to recent releases in the girly folk genre, reminiscent of artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, and Lucy Dacus. If you appreciate emotionally resonant lyrics paired with expertly performed chamber pop and indie folk arrangements, then "Older" is a perfect fit for you. However, the album suffers from occasional disjointedness, particularly at the beginning, yet it still boasts some truly remarkable tracks.

This album shines in all the little details. I was initially somewhat underwhelmed, perhaps expecting some more powerful songs like on the previous record. But this is a grower and a half. The lyrics are very strong - with only a few exceptions that lean a little to far into the explicit without being subtle or redeemingly vulnerable. The instrumentation is top notch. Yes it's quiet and laid back, but it manages that so incredibly well by infusing every second with just the right amount of subtle flourishes and crucially also by leaving them out when they don't serve the song. Also - pedal steel, hello??

wanted more FSF-style bangers, got Sling 2.0 instead. Not upset, just disappointed. Still good.
