    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

I know you’ve been watching me all night
I know I look cute in torn black tights
I know we would get along real nice
That’s true

Don’t you smile at me with crooked teeth
Don’t you offer me a smoke or drink
I’m an animal you can’t trust me not to
Want you

You think you can handle me
But baby you can’t
You think you won’t lose your mind
You’ve already lost half
Don’t make me prove it to you
I’m trying not to use
Drugs or people

I’ll go home and turn on SVU
Drink my tea and touch me like it’s you
Pass out, wake up happy I’m alone
What a relief. What a relief. What a relief

You think you can handle me
But baby you can’t
You think you won’t lose your mind
You’ve already lost half
Don’t make me prove it to you
I’m trying not to use
Drugs or people

I don’t mean to make you fall in love so fast
I’m intense. I throw my head back when I laugh
I’ve given up that game. I’m done with getting high
But you gotta help me help myself cause I’m a Gemini

You think you can handle me,
But baby you can’t
You think you won’t lose your mind
You’ve already lost half
Don’t make me prove it to you
I’m trying not to use
Drugs or people
