Muna have announced their fourth album, Dancing On The Wall, and have released the electric title track.
Dancing On The Wall will follow on from 2022’s self-titled release, and is slated for a May 8th release via Saddest Factory Records/Secretly Group.
The Los Angeles band, formed in 2013, has shared about the new single, “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.”
The song takes the classic fairytale conceit of the clock striking midnight at the fairytale ball, and the fantasy comes crashing down: “Shadows dance across my eyes watching as the second hand turns and turns around again; now I’m working up a sweat spinning in my party dress…” vocalist Katie Gavin sings on the bridge.
The new single is also accompanied by a music video, which features the band singing inside a club on a night out, lit up by various shades of red. Justin Moran worked as the creative director behind the thrilling new video.
As for the larger project, the band promises a “sharper, darker new chapter”, taking cue from “a world that feels urgent, physical, and alive.”
Produced by Naomi McPherson, the album “reflects a fiercely self-directed creative vision, rooted in instinct, trust, and total artistic control.”
Muna were handpicked as the first support act for Harry Styles’ debut solo tour, and have since been going from strength to strength. They’ve shared stages with Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, Lorde, and Phoebe Bridgers.
