Miya Folick explores rage and trauma with new single ‘Fist’, from her third album

Miya Folick has announced new single ‘Fist’, taken from her upcoming self-produced album ‘Erotica Veronica’.

The track, which arrives ahead of the album’s 28th February release via Nettwerk, explores themes of generational and sexual trauma. “Fist is about rage,” Folick explains. “It’s about sexual trauma and generational trauma and what that does to our feelings of safety, self, and home. What it does to the people we are in relationship with. I wrote this song by candlelight in the first place I really considered my home, recorded with a team who really made me feel seen.”

‘Erotica Veronica’ features contributions from Sam KS as co-producer and drummer, alongside Meg Duffy, Waylon Rector, Greg Uhlmann on guitar, and Pat Kelly on bass. The album follows Folick’s previous works ‘Premonitions’ and ‘Roach’.

Speaking about the album’s themes, Folick shares: “The album is about being queer within a heteronormative relationship structure and within a heteronormative society, but it’s also just about desire and eroticism in general. I don’t think we give each other enough room to explore freely and figure out our own right paths.”

The album’s tracklisting includes previously released singles ‘La Da Da’, ‘Alaska’, ‘Erotica’, and ‘This Time Around’, alongside new tracks ‘Felicity’, ‘Prism of Light’, ‘Hates Me’, ‘Hypergiant’, ‘Love Wants Me Dead’, and ‘Light Through the Linen’.
