Muna joins host Raina Douris

MUNA was on the verge of breaking up. Then in 2021, the band released a song called “Silk Chiffon” that was quickly embraced by fans as an anthem of queer joy. On the next World Cafe, the tight-knit trio talks about what it means to write songs through a queer lens, plus they perform songs from their self-titled album.

Listen to the session here.
