[Jark]

 

[Jark]

[Tisch]

Just pressed play!

 

[Tisch]

So what are MUNA please? Like a more poppy Haim?

 

[RJN]

This is my first listen. @Christmas Tisches have you listened before? I don't remember what you said

 

[Jark]

one of the artistic qualities that sets MUNA apart is how hyper specific their lyricism can be

i think about the time
when I went down on you at the gallery
and i was always out of line
but I thought you were right there with me

 

[RJN]

So what are MUNA please? Like a more poppy Haim?

Well this answered my question as I posted it

 

[Tisch]

This is my first listen. @Christmas Tisches have you listened before? I don't remember what you said

Once or twice. And I liked it instantly. I need to get to know them and album better though. I like to think they could become a real new find of mine. It's been a while since I became a bonafide "fan" of a new act.

a gay pop trio from LA from individual ska and rock backgrounds who formed an electropop band in 2013 they play several instruments and produce their own tracks

 

[Tisch]

Well this answered my question as I posted it

But this was a question too!

My love for them just multipled by about 500

 

[Jark]

Loudspeaker is about an abusive relationship and is one of my fave tracks of recent years. I am anti abuse but have heavily abused this song.

 

[Tisch]

I am actually watching FOOTBALL while doing this sync listen btw. A Moopy first surely

 

[RJN]

But this was a question too!

My question about if you had listened

I didn't realize they were all gay or from LA.

The second it started I remembered it as one of my favourites from album.

I love the heavy drums throughout. Really adds to the "confident" feel this album has

07 So Special

Oh I see!

 

[Jark]

I DON'T KNOW
WHERE THE SHAME DIES
YUH
BUT IT'S HELPING ME TO SCREAM
THIS IS NOT MY FAULT



ICONIC MIC DROP OUTRO!

Unlike @Jark The Herald Angels Sing, I am actually pro-abuse but this one is great. The lyrics are really cool now that I know what they're about.

I need the loo and a top up. Knew we should've started at 8.15

Such a SPECIAL song, especially with its connection to the Orlando shooting. Warm and euphoric. God I hope we can get this vaccine soon and go back to clubs. This makes me want to be in a gay club so badly

 

[RJN]

I need the loo and a top up. Knew we should've started at 8.15

I mean, there are only three of us. We can pause

[Jark]
