MUNA is magic. What other band could have stamped the forsaken year of 2021 with spangles and pom-poms - made you sing (and maybe even believe) that "Life's so fun, life's so fun," during what may well have been the most uneasy stretch of your life? "Silk Chiffon," MUNA's instant-classic cult smash, featuring the band's new label head Phoebe Bridgers, hit the grey skies of the pandemic's year-and-a-half mark like a double rainbow. Pitchfork called it a "swirl of stomach butterflies," NPR a "queerworm," Rolling Stone "one of the year's sweetest melodies, radiating the kind of pure pop bliss so many bands go for but almost never get this right." For Naomi McPherson, MUNA's guitarist and producer, it was a "song for kids to have their first gay kiss to." Several thousand unhinged Twitter and TikTok memes bloomed. Katie Gavin, MUNA's lead singer and songwriter, wrote "Silk Chiffon" right after finishing the band's 2019 album, 'Saves the World'.
