Los Angeles electro-pop trio MUNA signed to Phoebe Bridgers' Saddest Factory Records last year, and they've now announced their self-titled third album, due out June 24. It includes their 2021 single "Silk Chiffon," which Phoebe features on, and today they've shared another new single, "Anything But Me," an addictive pop track.
"Breaking up is hard to do," MUNA say. "In the past we’ve stayed in relationships for a long time, waiting until we hit low lows to admit it was over. 'Anything But Me' is a song about leaving a partnership simply because it doesn’t feel right. It’s about trusting yourself and your instincts enough to walk away from someone while you still have love for each other and before it gets too bad. The video for the song plays with the idea that we’ve been our own captors in relationships, keeping ourselves in unhealthy dynamics, maybe because that’s what feels familiar. The song embodies the lightness and a playfulness that floods in when you realize that there’s no lock on the door, no one’s holding you back - you can untie the knot and skip into the sunset whenever you’re ready. Now, who can guess what attachment style I have?"
The band are in Austin playing SXSW this week, including the Saddest Factory Records Showcase at Mohawk on Wednesday 3/17, and they've announced a North American headlining tour for the fall. See all dates below.
The tour includes an NYC show at Irving Plaza on September 30. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday, March 18 at 10 AM local time, with various presales starting Wednesday, March 16 at noon local.
