L.A.-based songwriter Miya Folick releases honest rhythm-driven second track “I Got Drunk”. The song’s percussive base (with the drum track, repeated vocal loops, and chugging guitars) is the visceral terra firma for “I Got Drunk”s open, genuine lyrical content; “How am I supposed to hold in words need saying, etc”.
