Muna's Katie Gavin has announced her debut solo album 'What a Relief,' out Oct. 25, featuring the new single 'Aftertaste.'
on Oct. 25. The record will include the newly-released single “Aftertaste,” an ode to the relief of a reciprocated crush on which Gavin leads familiar listeners out of Muna’s world and into her own.
Gavin has described the lovestruck single as being a sonic and thematic bridge between the two creative projects, which informed her decision to lead with it. “‘Aftertaste’ is a sweet song about carrying a torch for someone, realizing that you are going out to concerts and parties hoping to run into them there,” she shared in a statement. “The song is a playing out of a fantasy, really, both because it involves confessing your crush and finding out that it is reciprocated.
In the accompanying video, co-directed by Gavin and Alexa Viscius, the musician stars as a nude model for a drawing class. The theme runs parallel to the chorus on the single, where she sings: “I feel naked when you look my way/You can see it on my face/You’re the only reason I came here/You’re the only reason I stayed here.”
“Naomi McPherson helped me come up with the idea for the video,” Gavin said. “Alexa Viscius co-directed with me and brought in an amazing team of Chicago creatives to bring it to fruition. Filming in the city I’m from felt very right for introducing this solo work. Back to my roots, if you will.”will feature 12 tracks in total, including a collaboration with Mitski titled “As Good As It Gets.” At 31, the musician is leaning into introspection across the record.
