Charli XCX Talks New Album

Charli XCX talks with Vogue in a new interview:

I take a seat and she walks to the speakers to plug in her phone, wearing skinny vintage black waxed trousers and Louboutin heels. “We knew we wanted to go to Paris to do it,” she says, compulsively playing with her shades. “We knew it would be this very hectic, rich time and we like creating in that kind of atmosphere.” She crouches down, presses play and turns away. Heavily processed guitars strafe the room, then fracture along with Charli’s voice: “I think the dance floor is dead,” she drawls, “so now we’re making rock music.” Clearly we have come to bury Brat.

MUNA Talk With Interview Magazine

MUNA talked to Interview Magazine about their upcoming album:

RUSSELL: How do you address the tension between wanting to make really horny music as we’re becoming really puritanical as a culture? 

MASKIN: That is the thesis of the record.

MCPHERSON: I don’t think we can begin to address it because we’re in it. The only thing that we can try to do is present that cognitive dissonance in the piece. It’ll only become clear to us really what it really means years from now. But the record is about feeling this incredible amount of untapped frustration, horniness, or romantic longing, but under the dark cloud of the moment that we’re living in.
