Stephen Oliver unearths massive indie anthems on queerness in this new release
Nettwerk Music Group
Released: 28.02.25
This upbeat release explores relationships and the euphoric feelings that come from our culture, as Miya Folick herself puts it “about being queer within a heteronormative relationship structure and within a heteronormative society.” Having said that, there are universal truths within each of the tracks. Musically, the songs feel made for the live arena, rather than cut-and-shunt studio creations.
The songs are a sincere expression by the artist, and her ability to articulate the complexities of relationships gives this release depth. Sure, it is musically an indie guitar-driven release, but Miya Folick’s personality shines through. There is pain and anguish in the lyrical portraits, but there is also a sense of celebration that ultimately leads to a satisfying finish.
