UK LIVE DATES CONFIRMED FOR MAY

“One of the most impressive bands that I saw at SXSW” – Huw Stephens, Radio 1

“A crystallised gem of electronic pop” Fader

“One of the most promising young acts around” - Nylon

“Unflinching pop, coaxed in filtered echoes and an impossibly joyous chorus” – 405

 


 

This is MUNA.

LA’s brand new college grads blending profound R&B, punchy rhythms of funk, and the audacity of synthpop with raw, unbridled lyricism to create what could be the most infectious debut EP you’ll hear all year. Having just played a series of hugely hyped shows at this year’s SXSW in Texas, MUNA’s The Loudspeaker EP is now set for release on National Anthem (HAIM, CHVRCHES, Wet et al.) / Columbia Records on May 6. 

Watch the video for Winterbreak (taken from the EP) below.

It was one night in the fall of 2013 when USC (University of Southern California) classmates Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin and Naomi McPherson were hanging out in the dorms and began playing music together. Growing up listening to Fleetwood Mac, Janet Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Phil Collins and The Smiths, the trio devoted the following year to shaping their sound and playing warehouse parties across Los Angeles and New York City respectively.

 

The Loudspeaker EP track listing:

  1. Loudspeaker
  2. So Special
  3. Winterbreak
  4. Promise

 

The Loudspeaker EP was written and produced by MUNA and mixed by Dan Grech-Marguerat (Radiohead, Lana Del Rey, Wolf Alice et. al). The band have just been announced to play Lollapalooza in Chicago and will be supporting Miike Snow, BØRNS, and Saint Motel across America this Spring and Summer.

MUNA will play The Great Escape in Brighton on May 21 as well as supporting St. Lucia a couple of days before at Tufnell Park Dome on May 19.
