      • What a Relief is the debut studio album by Katie Gavin, lead singer of indie-pop group Muna, released through Saddest Factory Records on October 25, 2024. It is a mix of indie pop and folk.


      Background


      Written over the course of seven years, What a Relief comprises a set of songs that Gavin always loved but which "had something in them" that she and her bandmates felt did not quite fit within the universe they were trying to cultivate with Muna. Many of them were written on acoustic guitar.
      The album's cover art was photographed by Catherine Opie at Gavin's home.
      The album was released on October 25, 2024.
      Prior to the album's release, she released three singles "Aftertaste", "Casual Drug Use" and "Inconsolable".


      Critical reception



      According to the review aggregator Metacritic, What a Relief received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 77 out of 100 from 5 critic scores.
