MUNA announce new album Dancing on the Wall out May 8th, share eponymous first single today
Today, Los Angeles-based pop trio MUNA announces their highly anticipated fourth album, Dancing On The Wall, out May 8th via Saddest Factory Records/Secretly Group. The announcement arrives alongside the release of the album’s title track and official video, “Dancing On The Wall.” To celebrate the release, the band have also announced a run of intimate underplay shows in Los Angeles, New York, and London during release week.
On the new single, the band say “Dancing On The Wall is possibly our favorite song we’ve made as a band. We think it’s all the best parts of MUNA – it’s coming from a really emotional and lonely place, but the song itself makes us feel powerful and euphoric. It’s written in the moment that the clock strikes midnight at the ball, and you have to give up the fantasy. In this case, it’s the fantasy of loving someone or something that can’t love you back.”
Produced by MUNA’s own Naomi McPherson, the album reflects a fiercely self-directed creative vision, rooted in instinct, trust, and total artistic control. It’s a record that sits comfortably in tension, inviting listeners onto the dancefloor while keeping its inner world deliberately unresolved.
