Katie Gavin, December 14
There were lots of music highlights in July, but few got us worked up like news of Katie Gavin going solo. The singer of MUNA and one host of the band’s gayotic podcast, Gavin unveiled debut single “Aftertaste” as the first dose of new album What A Relief, forthcoming on Saddest Factory Records. After recently performing at Newport folk Festival, Gavin now hits the road for a North American tour that plays Brighton Music Hall in Allston on December 14. “I thought [‘Aftertaste’] would be a good place to start because to me it kind of serves as a bridge, sonically and thematically, between MUNA’s world and the world we are going to with the solo record,” Gavin says. “This record spans a lot of my life — it’s about having a really deep desire for connection, but also encountering all the obstacles that stood in my way to be able to achieve that, patterns of isolation or even boredom with the real work of love.What A Relief explores and portrays it honestly, without shame.” Tickets go on sale Friday (August 2) at 10 a.m. local time.
