Miya Folick has announced a new album, Erotica Veronica, due out on February 28 via Nettwerk. It’s the follow-up to last year’s Roach, and she co-produced it with Sam KS. It also features Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Waylon Rector, Greg Uhlmann, and Pat Kelly. “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,” Miya says. “I don’t think we give each other enough room to explore freely and figure out our own right paths.” See the cover art and tracklist below.
The album includes recent singles “La Da Da” and “Alaska,” and Miya’s shared another new track, “Erotica,” which she says “is a song about fantasy and pleasure – It’s not just about sex, it’s about a richness of experience, a playfulness, a connection, an open approach to each day. I think that we’re fed rules about what an appropriate fantasy looks like, especially when you’re coupled. Our culture is so puritanical in that way. But I think that it’s important for me to retain my autonomy of thought, and truthfully sharing my fantasies is an act of tenderness and intimacy.” Watch the video, directed by Antonio Marziale, below.
