MUNA finished off their set at Coachella 2023 by bringing out Boygenius – check out fan-filmed footage of their collaboration below.
The groups teamed up for ‘Silk Chiffon’, the studio version of which features just Phoebe Bridgers, but after she performed her verse, her bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker came out to bring the set home.

‘Silk Chiffon’ was the first single released on Bridgers’ Saddest Factory label, which she signed MUNA to after they were dropped by RCA. They have previously spoken about the increased creative freedom this gave them, and they have had a tight-knit relationship with Bridgers ever since. They will also be supporting Boygenius at a massive outdoor show at London’s Gunnersbury Park later this year.
Elsewhere in their Coachella set, MUNA debuted a new single, ‘One That Got Away’. The band confirmed the song’s existence earlier this week, imploring fans to “sleep with one eye open”. They later revealed the song’s title and release date – it’ll hit streaming platforms this coming Monday (April 17), with pre-saves available here.
‘One That Got Away’ is “a song about fumbling the bag”, frontwoman Katie Gavin said. It’s a wistful synth-pop track with an immediately infectious chorus, on which Gavin sings: “I’m the one that got away / The kiss you never tasted, tell me that you hate it, that / I’m no longer in your reach / If I can’t hear you say it, maybe you can change it.”
