Miya Folick – Fist

Miya Folick will release self-produced third album Erotica Veronica on February 28th via Nettwerk, and today she shares another preview of the record alongside the announcement of a North American tour.

New single “Fist,” out now, is the album’s most outwardly tempestuous track.

Starting with a sincere, almost apologetic recounting of her lover’s civility, Miya spirals progressively into anger, offering a hint that she – or the accumulation of pains big and small that have taken shape inside of her – may be the true antagonist in this narrative. The line “This rage, this rage, is my inheritance,” comes like a warning, before Miya releases a 10-second long scream of seismic reverberation.

“Fist is about rage,” Miya 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.”

Folick’s tour in support of Erotica Veronica kicks off on April 23rd and goes through the end of May. Pre-sales begin today with general on-sale starting this Friday, January 31 at 10am local time.
