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
Oh God
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I’ve never had God
Oh God
I don’t ever want to be alone
Maybe I should call my mom and say I’m moving home
I’m tired of saying bless this mess
But I’m too in love with Los Angeles
If I give up, I’ll regret it when I’m old
Fucking off and watching trashy TV
Spending all my twenties not believing anything
Oh God
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I’ve never had God
Oh God
I used to walk around downtown at night
Have conversations with strangers when they’d ask me for a light
I was smiling in the face of time
I was a touch naive but it really felt sublime
Fucking off at Starbucks
Cold brew coffee
Spending all my twenties not believing anything
Oh God
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I’ve never had God
Oh God
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
