October 25 street date. The debut album from MUNA's lead singer Katie Gavin. "What A Relief" reveals a softer, earthier side of Gavin's sound and taps into the unguarded self-possession and homespun pop sensibility of singers like Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, and Ani DiFranco, and uses their tenacity as a north star for Gavin's own trek towards self-discovery. Written over the course of seven years, "What A Relief" comprises a set of songs that Gavin always loved but which "had something in them" that she and her bandmates felt didn't quite fit within the universe they were trying to cultivate with MUNA. Openness of spirit is the overwhelming character of "What A Relief", an album that's refreshing in its willingness to accept people as they come, even as it remains in dogged pursuit of a life that's kinder, wiser, and more loving. Gavin's explorations of desire and intimacy feel time-worn and necessary - songs that might teach a generation if not how to live, exactly, then at least how to look within oneself for guidance about how to move forward.
