LA-based artist Miya Folick has just shared a video for her recently released single "Deadbody." The arresting single-take video underscores the tension at the heart of the song's lyrical themes. States Folick, "I wrote 'Deadbody' after reading article after article about people's exploitation by people and power structures, and then talking to my friends about our own heavy experiences. I felt defeated by the weight and pervasiveness of the system we are fighting. I needed something to sing that felt hopeful but fierce. To me, the song is an outward expression of a very internal shift from passivity to power. We wanted to make a video that explored how power can be quiet, private, almost imperceptible. It's meant to express that you don't have to shout to be strong. Though it does feel good."
"Deadbody" follows the release of last year's lauded Give It To Me EP, which garnered accollades from all quarters, includingMTV, Noisey, NME, DIY, Refinery 29, LA Weekly, NYLON, Vogue, and earned Miya and band a spot Stereogum's "40 Best New Acts of 2017." Miya is currently on tour supporting Kate Nash and prepping toward the release of her debut full length album.

PRESS QUOTES ON "DEADBODY"
"In a culture that stifles women's anger, that suffocates and gaslights women even after they've obviously been hurt, a battle cry like 'Deadbody' is a gust of fresh air. It's a spirited tribute to putting your abuser on blast, and inviting anyone who can hear you to do the same." -PITCHFORK
"A skeletal track that builds to a towering chorus where Folick gets to show off her capacious voice: 'Over my dead body,' she sings, booming drums behind her. It's a wall of pure power." - STEREOGUM
"The complex, melancholy track adds musical layers as it progresses, but the one constant is Folick's gripping, jaw-dropping vocal performance, which immediately stops you in your tracks and adds much-needed human soul to the electronically constructed song. Her voice sits proudly alongside powerful modern vocal greats like PJ Harvey and Sinead O'Connor." - PASTE
