Miya Folick has laid out plans for her third album.
'Erotica Veronica' will arrive on February 28 via Nettwerk. It'll feature the previously released singles La Da Da and Alaska, as well as the breezy opening track, Erotica, which arrives with a cinematic video directed by Antonio Marziale. Folick explained:
"Erotica 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."
The follow-up to 2023's 'Roach' was self-produced by the Los Angeles artist and penned within a month and a half, following an exhausting stretch of touring. Intending to make a no-nonsense indie-rock record, Folick picked up a guitar to write the majority of its songs, entering the studio with the aim of capturing raw, live full takes instead of editing recordings together.
On the album's themes, she continued: "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 record's collaborators include co-producer and drummer Sam KS, guitarists Meg Duffy, Waylon Rector and Greg Uhlmann, and bassist Pat Kelly.
