    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

My mother keeps secrets like a ghost
I ask her what her parents were like
She says that she doesn’t know
I find that hard to believe
If someone asked me to describe her
I’d recall everything

Mommy liked fried chicken
Mommy liked to eat slow
Mommy said the best part of leaving was to come home
Mommy never laughed when the joke wasn’t funny
Mommy gave me jars of orange blossom honey

Please tell me what makes this life mine
Maybe it is obvious
But can you explain one more time
If I am the kin of my kin
Where do my parents end and
Where do I begin?

Daddy always worked hard
Daddy always woke up
Earlier than everybody else
He didn’t sleep much
Daddy always wanted everyone to like him
I think I’m just like him
I think I’m just like him
