Eliza McLamb (born January 19, 2001)[1] is an American indie rock musician from Carrboro, North Carolina.[2]

Career

McLamb first gained recognition when her song "Porn Star Tits" went viral on TikTok while McLamb was working on a farm in Kansas.[2] In 2022, McLamb released her debut EP titled Salt Circle.[3] Also in 2022, McLamb announced that she had signed to Canadian record label Royal Mountain Records.[4][3] In late 2023, she announced plans to release her debut full-length album, Going Through It.[5] McLamb released the song "16" as a single from the album. The album was released on January 19, 2024.[6][7]

Going Through It has received generally favorable reception from critics. Grace Robins-Somerville of Paste magazine said that the album "shows a characteristically thoughtful embrace of life’s subtleties and contradictions."[8] Graeme Thomson of the Spectator described the album as "relentless guts-spilling" that "isn’t necessarily any more creatively worthy or valuable than simply making stuff up" before referring to McLamb as "an artist of many parts, not all of them yet fully formed."[9] However, Thomson noted that there is "actually lots to like about Going Through It."[9]

In addition to making music, McLamb is co-host of the podcast Binchtopia.[10]

Education

McLamb attended George Washington University in from 2019-2021[11] but dropped out to pursue her music career.[12]
