lost and found

Lost and Found is aptly named, marking a turning point in Eliza Gilkyson’s musical career as she finds a newfound direction, confidence, and purpose. The album captures an artist coming fully into her own, with smart, soulful songwriting and a voice that sounds as though it has been weathered and softened by the winds of the New Mexican desert she called home for many years.

The record was produced with an emphasis on Gilkyson’s songwriting and expressive vocals, pairing intimate acoustic textures with a carefully crafted roots-oriented sound. The arrangements give her songs plenty of space while adding subtle layers of guitar, rhythm, and atmospheric instrumentation that deepen their emotional impact. Rather than overwhelming the material with production, the album allows the performances to feel immediate and organic, keeping Gilkyson’s voice and storytelling at the center.

Throughout Lost and Found, Gilkyson draws from folk, Americana, country, and roots traditions while developing a sound distinctly her own. Her songs balance personal reflection with vivid imagery and an acute awareness of the world around her, while her weathered, penetrating vocals bring an unmistakable sense of place and experience to every performance.

The result is a deeply personal record that feels both grounded and newly adventurous—a portrait of an artist moving through change and emerging with greater clarity about who she is and what she wants to say.
