Katie Gavin of MUNA has released her new solo single ‘Inconsolable’

Katie Gavin, lead singer of MUNA, has released a new single.

‘Inconsolable’, an acoustic track featuring fiddle accompaniment, is taken from her debut solo album ‘What A Relief’, due 25th October via Saddest Factory Records.

On ‘Inconsolable’, Gavin says: “I wrote this song in March of 2020, if you can believe it. I was thinking about how being in a relationship can sometimes feel like trying to speak a language you weren’t taught. We all have so much we are up against and we were all modelled very different ways of loving, so it’s hard to connect and it’s very endearing that we keep trying.

“We tried recording this song a few different ways, but we landed on taking it back to bluegrass with Sara and Sean Watkins. We recorded it in about ten minutes on one of our last days in the studio, which was a very special experience. The video was directed by Amalia Irons and a bunch of my friends came together to make that possible. I’m very grateful to them for that.”

‘Inconsolable’ follows previous singles ‘Casual Drug Use’ and ‘Aftertaste’. The album, described by Gavin as “Lilith Fair-core”, draws inspiration from artists like Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, and Ani DiFranco.

Katie Gavin will embark on a North American tour this autumn.
