Suzie True has always worn their heart on their sleeve, but on How I Learned To Love What’s Gone(out October 17, 2025), the Los Angeles trio offers their most vulnerable, intentional, and fully realized record to date. Rooted in punk energy and emotional clarity, this sophomore LP marks a turning point for the band, one shaped by grief, growth, and the hard-won process of self-forgiveness.
Formed during a time of personal upheaval, Suzie True first came together when front person Lexi McCoy-Caso moved to a new city and began writing through experiences of isolation, addiction, and trauma. In those early days, the band’s sound was rough-edged, scrappy, and fiercely DIY, an outlet for survival as much as creativity. But what started as a personal outlet evolved into a deeply collaborative project. As the three bandmates grew closer, both musically and personally, the band became something more: a space for joy, catharsis, and connection.
How I Learned To Love What’s Gone is the sound of that evolution. Produced by Chris Farren, and lovingly recorded and mixed by Jon Siebels from Eve 6, the album builds on the emotional core of their 2020 debut Saddest Girl at the Party while pushing into more expansive sonic territory. There’s more nuance in the arrangements, more clarity in the songwriting, and more confidence in the band’s collective voice. With influences ranging from The Breeders and Dinosaur Jr. to Liz Phair and Sailor Moon, Suzie True’s sound blends ‘90s alt-rock textures, loud-quiet-loud dynamics, and a distinctly modern vulnerability.
The record is shaped by the emotional highs and lows of recent years, breakups, recovery, rebuilding, and its tracklist reflects that range. Opening track “Glow” is an anthem of post-breakup clarity and self-empowerment, while closer “Perfect” offers a quieter, more reflective moment of reckoning. In between, the album explores the messy in-between: the parts of growth that hurt, the moments of doubt, and the strength that comes from facing it all head-on.
But How I Learned To Love What’s Gone isn’t just a personal record, it’s a communal one. For the first time, the band prioritized co-writing and workshopping songs together, with Farren guiding and sharpening the process. The result is a record that still feels raw and immediate, but more refined in its emotional impact. It captures where Suzie True is now, both as a band and as people: clearer, more intentional, and still committed to making music that says what others might not.
Live, these songs hit even harder. The band describes playing them as “terrifying,” like reading their diaries out loud, but also liberating. That emotional honesty is the through-line of everything they do. And while the record may center on learning to let go, it’s just as much about holding on: to each other, to music, and to the parts of yourself that are still learning.
At its heart, How I Learned To Love What’s Gone is about survival, but not just in the sense of getting through. It’s about moving forward with purpose. It’s about making peace with the past, and choosing to live fully in what comes next.
