MUNA announce self-titled album with new single "Anything But Me"
MUNA have announced their upcoming self-titled album, and have shared new cut "Anything But Me" to accompany the news.
After returning in September 2021 with Phoebe Bridgers collaboration "Silk Chiffon" (which topped Best Fit's Best Songs of 2021 list) MUNA have shared new cut "Anything But Me".
MUNA say of the new release, which is teamed with a Ally Pankiw-directed video, "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 realise 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 new song will feature on MUNA's upcoming third album MUNA, which will follow 2019's Saves The World and will include 11 songs in total.
MUNA's Josette Maskin said, "What ultimately keeps us together is knowing that someone’s going to hear each one of these songs and use it to make a change they need in their life. That people are going to feel a kind of catharsis, even if it’s a catharsis that I might never have known myself, because I’m fucked up."
Naomi McPherson added, "I hope this album helps people connect to each other the way that we, in MUNA, have learned to connect to each other."
