What A Relief [Olive Green Vinyl] (LP)
Katie Gavin
Amoeba Review
Warm, folksy, and wise, Katie Gavin's solo debut What a Relief sees heartbreak as an experience to be lived with and learned from. Gavin, the lead vocalist from MUNA, leans into a different sound here — namely the blend of '90s female-fronted alt-rock and radio country she describes as “Lilith Fair-core." With lyrics that combine fierce independence and courageous vulnerability, you'll hear echoes of indie icons like Ani DiFranco and Fiona Apple, with the freshness and singular perspective Gavin brings to the table. What a Relief does feel like a relief in many ways: this is the type of album that makes you feel like you'll get through your worst days and maybe even look back at them with something like gratitude in the years to come.
