Review: MUNA – Dancing On The Wall

MUNA - Dancing On The Wall

In the history of music, there have been very few artists who have come out of the gate so strongly that it feels like they can’t miss. MUNA are one of those artists. Dancing On The Wall is the fourth studio album from the band, and was produced by MUNA’s own Naomi McPherson. The set is filled with underrated production, infectious melodies/harmonies, and crisp songwriting that somehow continues to get even better as the band releases each record. The songs on Dancing On The Wall are sure to get your body moving, as the LP features a club-ready atmosphere to it and continues to accentuate the best parts of the pop rock genre. MUNA are a rare breed of an artist who are willing to take big swings for the chance to become you’re favorite band and achieve world domination. They may just have pulled off both tasks here.

MUNA Talk With Interview Magazine

MUNA

MUNA talked to Interview Magazine about their upcoming album:

RUSSELL: How do you address the tension between wanting to make really horny music as we’re becoming really puritanical as a culture? 

MASKIN: That is the thesis of the record.

MCPHERSON: I don’t think we can begin to address it because we’re in it. The only thing that we can try to do is present that cognitive dissonance in the piece. It’ll only become clear to us really what it really means years from now. But the record is about feeling this incredible amount of untapped frustration, horniness, or romantic longing, but under the dark cloud of the moment that we’re living in. 

MUNA – “Big Stick”

MUNA

MUNA have shared “Big Stick” on Bandcamp for 48 hours.

Big Stick is the most overtly political song that we’ve put out. For that reason, it felt right to use this moment and track as an opportunity to raise funds for an organization that means a lot to us, Pal Humanity. Pal Humanity is a comprehensive mutual aid organization providing communities in the north and south of Gaza with essential supplies, medical care, and a school for grades K-12.

MUNA Talk With Polyester

MUNA

MUNA talked with Polyester about their upcoming album:

The way that I see it is probably the way that I see most growth in life, which is: it’s a spiral. So if you look at our first record About U, I think we were existing in this kind of aesthetically punk space. And the sound was like dark pop. And I think that if you look at what we’ve done with Dancing on the Wall, it’s a more elevated, more expanded version of that thing. I think it really speaks to the people that we were when we started this project, but we have more resources, and we have more experience with each other. It’s the album that I think we would be so over the moon that we made if you could have told us when we were 20.

Lucy Dacus & Katie Gavin In Conversation

Lucy Dacus and Katie Gavin sat down to talk together for Alternative Press.

KATIE GAVIN: I was feeling weird about leaving MUNA for a period of time to do the solo project, but then it was like, “OK, well, when the solo project becomes my main squeeze, and I’m on cycle for that, then MUNA is gonna become the mistress, and it’ll be nice to be tempted to go back to that again.”

LUCY DACUS: The mistress will strengthen your marriage.
