MUNA have announced their self-titled third album.
To accompany the news, the Los Angeles-based trio have dropped the new single Anything But Me, an indie-pop offering that deals in punchy beats and glistening synths. Head below to view the Ally Pankiw-directed video.
The track follows their September 2021 collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers, Silk Chiffon. The group commented:
"Breaking up is hard to do. 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 follow-up to 2019's 'Saves The World' will arrive on June 24 via Bridgers' label Saddest Factory Records.
Following a handful of performances at Austin's SXSW this week, the band will play a headline show at The Garage in London, before appearing at The Great Escape in Brighton on May 12. Following that, they'll tour North America beginning in the summer.
