MUNA’s songs tend to make emotional instability look considerably better under club lighting. The Los Angeles trio of Katie Gavin, Naomi McPherson and Josette Maskin follows its breakthrough “Silk Chiffon” era with Dancing On The Wall, a fourth album that folds romantic obsession and political unease into sharp, insistent dance pop. McPherson’s production gives the anxiety somewhere to go, while Gavin’s lyrics keep desire and its consequences uncomfortably close together. The Gets So Hot Tour brings that mixture to Frost Amphitheater with Hemlocke Springs. Apparently, a world coming apart still leaves room for a decent chorus.
