Los Angeles singer-songwriter Miya Folick releases new single “Cockroach”
Los Angeles singer-songwriter Miya Folick has dropped their new single “Cockroach” today.
Self-produced by Folick, “Cockroach” stems from the artist’s forthcoming studio album Roach, which arrives on May 26 via Nettwerk.
Folick said this about the new song, which can be heard below:
“I love this song and I am addicted to it. I wrote the melody and lyrics for ‘Cockroach’ driving home from a friend's house. It was May 2021, and I was feeling like I had spent the last couple years continuously dragging myself back up onto my feet after getting knocked around by life and circumstances out of my control (I think others may be able to relate). I got home and quickly made a demo of the melody with the keyboard parts and the guitar line. I thought it would be an interesting interlude or intro for the record, but it became something so much more powerful. I asked Sam KS to play some simple drums on it and he ended up playing this in one take, transforming the song into something that feels anthemic in its own odd way.”
Folick will celebrate the release of Roach with a special album release event at The Short Stop on May 23 followed by a sold out headlining show at Moroccan Lounge. Pre-saves for Roach can be made here while vinyl pre-orders can be made here.
This August, they’ll be touring the country alongside Father John Misty and The Head and the Heart. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
