Goodnight Louisa - Marathon

‘Marathon’ is Goodnight Louisa’s sophomore album to well-acclaimed debut LP, ‘Human Danger’.

“Marathons take everything you’ve got, and this record took everything I had. I started making it when I was 22, and finished it when I was 25. Throughout the years of recording the record spanning from late 2021 to 2024, I was not a very confident individual. I struggled a lot with coming to terms with my sexuality, illness, shame, and trusting myself.

Fittingly, I started running throughout making the record too, running long distances and half marathons, but whilst I enjoyed it at times, it quickly became another impossible standard for me to try and obtain. 'Marathon' feels like a debut album to me, as I had no clue who I was before I started it. I feel that this record will always be important to me as a marker of strength and persistence. I hope that resonates with listeners throughout.”
