Muna’s self-titled record is their first since 2019’s Saves the World and marks their debut on Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory label. The trio of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson teamed up with Bridgers on “Silk Chiffon,” which became a viral sensation on TikTok. The album also features “Kind of Girl,” “Home by Now,” and “Anything But Me,” a track “about leaving a partnership simply because it doesn’t feel right.” Read Pitchfork’s profile of the band “The Radical Joy of Muna’s Queer Pop.”
