Singer/songwriter Miya Folick has released new single “Alaska,”, the track follows her previous release “La Da Da.” The song was inspired by the line “desire is a buffalo standing on my chest” from the poem “Dear Sal” by Jeremy Radin.

“The song is me exploring the weight of my fear of losing my relationship, but also finding comfort in the fact that if I did, things would be okay.” Folick explains. “The line ‘I could lose you’ is a double entendre. When we translated it into Japanese for the cover art, we used the verb for ‘I am able to” and the verb for ‘It is possible [to lose you].’ This song is both a coming to terms with how much my relationship matters to me, and how much I value my relationship to myself. I would be so sad if I lost this person in my life, but it would be equally as sad if I lost myself.”

Miya Folick released her EPs, Strange Darling in 2015 and 2017’s Give It To Me EP. Folick’s 2018 Terrible Records, followed by Interscope debut album Premonitions and 2023’s release ROACH. Over the past year, Folick has toured with the likes of Mitski, Faye Webster and The Japanese House, and scored her first film, Cora Bora, starring Megan Stalter.
