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 talking to girls on the internet
She’s only 19 and I can’t compete with that
I’ve been trying to change the way
I look so you like what you see
I’ve been losing weight so I can wear these dollskill jeans
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Nothing has changed, I’m just sad and in pain
Said I would never be desperate
Look at me
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Now I’m wearing black cause you like me like that
Said I would never be desperate
Look at me
There’s nothing to see here
There’s nothing to see
My mom was relieved when she heard I was through with you
But my heart still stops when I see a green Subaru
You told me that you loved me but you mispronounced my name
I never corrected you, cause I didn’t wanna push you away
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Nothing has changed, I’m just sad and in pain
Said I would never be desperate
Look at me
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Now I’m wearing black cause you like me like that
Said I would never be desperate
Look at me
There’s nothing to see here
There’s nothing to see

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
