Dancing on the Wall

Dancing on the Wall is the fourth studio album by the American indie pop band Muna. It followed their commercial breakthrough album Muna, and was supported by three singles - the title track, "So What", and "Wannabeher". The album was released on May 8, 2026, by Saddest Factory Records. Muna's previous album, Muna, was their best selling album to date, and their first album to chart on the Billboard 200, the UK Albums Chart, and other international charts, and its lead single, Silk Chiffon, saw success, and significantly raised the band's profile. Since its release, they also joined several high-profile acts on tour, including Lorde and Taylor Swift. In 2024, lead singer Katie Gavin released her debut solo album, What a Relief, in a more acoustic, folk pop direction compared to Muna's output. The band were inspired by the political climate in the US under the second Trump administration in the writing of the album, citing M. Gessen's book Surviving Autocracy as an influence. Maskin noted that while their previous albums had also featured political themes, Big Stick was the most overtly political song they'd released. Several publications noted the album as having a darker sonic palatte than the lighter pop sound of their self-titled record. The band described as a "dark, poppy, intense, sweaty. funky dance album" as opposed to being the "'queer joy mini-skirt rollerblade' band" of the previous record.
