Miya Folick’s new EP, ‘Give It To Me’ is an electrifying and bold instalment into the LA-born’s catalogue. From the head-banging opener, ‘Trouble Adjusting’ to the gentle cover of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Woodstock’ – Folick’s crafted a collection of songs that are both soaring and gut-wrenchingly honest.
We spoke to Folick about meeting her band on Tinder, the EP and vomiting extras.
I heard you but your band together through Tinder…
That is true. I wasn’t really a part of the LA music scene at the time and I wasn’t on Tinder but a friend of mine was. She would show me the people she matched with and they were always artists and musicians – so I thought I should make a profile that says I’m looking for a band. Lucky my bass player saw it and he reached out to me on Instagram – because we didn’t match on Tinder. It’s a very 21st century band meeting.
Was releasing these songs as an EP always the plan?
I’ve been writing these songs for probably a year and a half, but it wasn’t really deliberately for an EP. I just wanted new material to play live – and we’ve been performing a lot of that material for a while and they just don’t stylistically work for the album I’m working on. They were songs I didn’t want to disappear. I like that it works out that way – it feels like a nice collection of memories for us now.

Why did they not feel like they belong on the album?

The song ‘Give It To Me’ is the bold centre-piece – what’s it about?
It’s one of those songs that just have some kind of magic. The song is not specific…
