Dropping next month (June 24), the eponymous album will also be MUNA’s first full length release under a new label, having departed RCA Records in 2020.Late last year, MUNA enlisted Phoebe Bridgers to feature on ‘Silk Chiffon’, another track lifted from the upcoming album which then marked their first single under Bridgers’ Saddest Factory label.
