US pop trio MUNA have shared a cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘August’. The track closes out the group’s new Live At Electric Lady EP. Recorded at the New York City studio of the same name, the EP features three songs – ‘Anything But Me’, ‘Kind Of Girl’, and ‘Silk Chiffon’ – from MUNA’s self-titled record, released earlier this year.
Rounding out the track list is a rendition of ‘Taken’, from 2019’s Saves The World, and a cover of ‘August’, which originally appeared on Swift’s Folklore album.

“The whole environment at Electric Lady Studios is so supportive and open, it often leads to making new creative choices while you’re in the midst of recording,” the group said of the experience. “‘August’ took on this very breathy, quiet quality that we hadn’t anticipated, but we just went with.”
Live At Electric Lady arrives alongside news that MUNA will be making their Australian live debut in early 2023. The group will be appearing as part of Sydney WorldPride, performing at the Rainbow Republic closing concert on Sunday, 5th March alongside Peach PRC, G Flip, and others.
