Lizzy McAlpine – Older (And Wiser) [2 LP, Deluxe, Black Vinyl]

Description

Lizzy McAlpine’s third studio album, Older, arrived in April 2024 via RCA Records to widespread critical praise, establishing the Philadelphia singer-songwriter as one of the most quietly compelling voices in indie folk and alternative pop. This Deluxe Edition, Older (and Wiser), expands the original 14-track album with five additional studio tracks and four live recordings captured during the Older tour, two of which are exclusive to this vinyl pressing. It marks the first-ever vinyl release for all of the deluxe material.

The album navigates themes of transition, grief, and the slow unraveling of a long situationship with a lyrical precision that feels almost uncomfortably personal. Lead singles “Older” and “I Guess” anchor the original tracklist, the former a quietly devastating self-reckoning, the latter a wry, sharp-edged pop moment that became one of McAlpine’s most streamed songs. “Vortex” closes the original 14 tracks with a sprawling six-minute ballad that earns every second, while deluxe addition “Pushing It Down and Praying” layers emotional complexity over a spare, aching arrangement.

Pressed on black vinyl and spread across two LPs, this edition is presented in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves. The expanded 23-track program includes the first-ever vinyl pressings of all deluxe studio tracks alongside two live recordings available exclusively on this pressing.
