Katie Gavin has released a new solo single celebrating youth and friendship, 'Casual Drug Use'
The track explores youthful antics and friendship.
MUNA's Katie Gavin has released a new solo single and video, 'Casual Drug Use'.
Set for release on 25th October via Saddest Factory Records, her debut album 'What A Relief' explores themes of intimacy and romance, drawing inspiration from artists like Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, and Ani DiFranco.
Gavin describes the new single: "This is a song about being young and on bad behavior, and the comfort of having friends by your side. I wrote it in 2016 after a day trip I took with a friend, and so I thought it would be sweet to film the video on a road trip I had planned with my childhood best friend. The different colored potions in the video are meant to be a stand-in for whatever external substance we use to change our internal states."

The release follows her previous single 'Aftertaste'. Of that track, Gavin says: "That song takes place inside of the magnetic force, when I'm really drawn to somebody and still feeling like it's gonna work. Sometimes it's fun to surrender to that feeling – I think a lot of songwriters have a strong relationship with romantic fantasy."
Gavin will embark on a solo tour later this year, with most dates already sold out. The tour includes intimate shows across the US and two London performances.
