Roach is Miya Folick's clearest and most direct work yet, eschewing some of the lyrical and musical obfuscations she layered onto her 2018 debut album, Premonitions. With ear-worm melodies, heart-wrenching poetry, eclectic production and anchored by Folick's once-in-a-lifetime voice, Roach straddles a line between pop and something more experimental. She enlisted a team of collaborators who she trusted to bring out the grittier side of her artistry, including Gabe Wax (War on Drugs, Fleet Foxes), Mike Malchicoff (King Princess, Bo Burnham), Max Hershenow (MS MR) and a team of some of LA's best players. The result is an album that sounds as honest and intimate as the subject matter at hand, a candid snapshot of where she is now and what it took to get there. Matte Jacket, Printed Sleeve, Gatefold Insert.

lyrics
Wake up hand upon my forehead
Can’t believe this is the way I live
Even now. Still somehow
Told my mom it was the last time
Told myself maybe it’s ok
One more time. One more time
I don’t wanna call first thing in the morning
Desperate for help to feel normal
Over and over and over again
I keep doing bad bad bad bad bad
I did a bad thing
I wasn’t thinking
I did a bad thing
Get caught in empty conversation
Fake friends and chemical temptations
Turn it down
Turn them down
This time I will take it slowly
Say no to everything I don’t need
Turn it down
Turn it down
I don’t wanna call first thing in the morning
Desperate for help to feel normal
Over and over and over again
I keep doing bad bad bad bad bad
I did a bad thing
I wasn’t thinking
I did a bad thing
I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
