Pre-Order: Dancing On The Wall [LP]

Muna's journey has always been about holding space for the complex, messy, ecstatic realities of life, and with their fourth album, Dancing On The Wall, they've never been sharper, darker, or more exhilarating. Emerging from the sparkly, confetti-strewn heights of their 2022 self-titled record, Muna now channel the anxious, uncertain energy of living in a Los Angeles defined by political tension, environmental decay, and the quiet pressures of millennial precarity. The result is a record that feels both intimate and spectacular, a pop world built with teeth, wit, and emotional resonance, a soundtrack for hearts simultaneously on fire and observing the chaos around them. Across the record, Muna explores desire, intimacy, and connection against a backdrop of a world in flux. There's a quiet reckoning throughout the album with how to keep living, loving, and reaching for one another while bearing witness to political brutality and systemic violence and how joy survives without denial. Tracks like "Wannabeher" capture the dizzying thrill of stepping fully into someone else's fantasy, while "Why Do I Get A Good Feeling" lingers long after the beat ends, a meditation on fleeting joy and suspended possibilities. The album closes with "Buzzkiller," a stark reckoning with desire and it's aftermath, the ache of achieving what you wanted only to realise new questions, doubts, and hungers remain. Their previous work, including the viral hit "Silk Chiffon," has earned hundreds of millions of streams and widespread acclaim, alongside TV appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Good Morning America. The band also maintains a devoted following across TikTok, Instagram, and Spotify. Produced with their trademark attention to detail, Dancing On The Wall blends euphoric sonic landscapes with sharp, human storytelling. Led and largely produced by Naomi McPherson, A&R'ed label-boss by Phoebe Bridgers, the album is one shaped by instinct, trust, and total artistic control. It feels lived-in, urgent, and cinematic, a reflection of a generation navigating uncertainty while refusing to let go of joy. With this album, Muna proves once again that pop can be daring, intimate, and socially conscious all at once: a record that doesn't just capture the moment, but distills it into a world you want to inhabit.
