I'm dithering around this post because there is so much I can say about the girl band MUNA that I don't even know where to start. I'm going to stick with saying as little as possible and letting y'all just listen to the music and figure it out, which of course is the best way to enjoy music–without someone else interpreting for you. I am loving their self-described “dark pop” sound.

And as much as I love live music and concede that this is where the “magic” happens, I really don't want to go to a performance and hear borderline vocals. I'm just a teeny tiny bit of a snob that way, as I think I'm pretty forgiving about what level of ability is “good enough.” So I'm really delighted that these ladies from USC are GOOD in a live setting.
