Olive Green Vinyl. Katie Gavin's debut What A Relief taps into the unguarded self-possession and homespun pop sensibility of singers like Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple and Ani DiFranco, and uses their tenacity as a north star for Gavin's own trek towards self-discovery. "This record spans a lot of my life - it's about having a really deep desire for connection, but also encountering all the obstacles that stood in my way to be able to achieve that, patterns of isolation or even boredom with the real work of love" they say.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 didn't quite fit within the universe theywere trying to cultivate with MUNA. Many of them were written on acoustic guitar, and are rooted in "a style of music that's very much in my blood, and natural for me," as typified by the Women & Songs CDs that Gavin loves, which compiled music by artists like Tracy Chapman, Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan.That openness of spirit is the overwhelming character of What A Relief, an album that's refreshing in it'swillingness to accept people as they come, even as it remains in dogged pursuit of a life that's kinder, wiserand more loving. Gavin's explorations of desire and intimacy feel time-worn and necessary - songs thatmight teach a generation if not how to live, exactly, then at least how to look within oneself for guidance about how to move forward.
