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
Put my t-shirt on
Look at myself and yawn
Is it okay to be ordinary?
Take chemicals
To try to be more whole
Maybe a fractions all I’m meant to feel
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
Put your makeup on
Sit on the bed and watch
I love the way you care
Enough to comb your hair
I take my tshirt off
I know it’s what you want
I love your love for me
So ordinary
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
Our life is small but it’s big enough for me
I don’t need any fancy things oh
Our life is small but it’s big enough for me
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
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
