MUNA Announce Dancing on the Wall Deluxe With Romy, Arlo Parks and a Very Queer Remix

MUNA are bringing their latest album back to the dancefloor with Romy, Arlo Parks, Avalon Emerson and Porches. And with a track called ‘Romy in a Lesbian Trance Remix’, darling, they clearly know their audience.

Queer pop fans, your November playlist is about to get a very welcome upgrade.

MUNA have announced Dancing on the Wall (Deluxe Edition), arriving on 13 November 2026 through Dead Oceans. The expanded version of their fourth studio album features four new remixes and reworks, bringing together some of the most exciting names in alternative pop and electronic music.

And the celebrations have already begun. Producer and DJ Avalon Emerson has released her reimagining of the album’s title track, offering a first taste of a project that promises to take MUNA’s emotional, euphoric songwriting even further into club territory.

After a year of increasingly heated political debates surrounding LGBTQ+ identities, there is something rather wonderful about queer musicians simply doing what they do best: making art, taking up space and giving us something irresistible to dance to.

MUNA and Romy? A Queer Pop Dream

The collaboration attracting particular attention is Romy’s remix of Dancing on the Wall, which arrives with the gloriously unapologetic title Romy in a Lesbian Trance Remix.

Yes, that is genuinely what they have called it. No subtle hints, no coded messages. Just lesbian trance, proudly announced.

Romy, whose work with The xx and subsequent solo career have made her an influential presence in contemporary electronic pop, has developed a sound that brings queer intimacy and emotional vulnerability onto the dancefloor.

MUNA have explored similar territory throughout their career, creating music about relationships, desire, uncertainty and self-discovery with a distinctly queer perspective.

The full Romy remix is not available yet, so its sound remains something to discover when the deluxe edition arrives. But the pairing itself makes perfect sense: two musical worlds that understand how a dance track can be both euphoric and devastatingly emotional.

Avalon Emerson Takes Dancing on the Wall to the Club

The first released remix comes courtesy of Avalon Emerson, whose Sweet Thing Remix transforms the album’s title track into a more expansive electronic experience.

According to the official announcement from Dead Oceans, MUNA were particularly enthusiastic about the way Emerson discovered new musical possibilities within their song.

The result is an interpretation that maintains the emotional core of the original while shifting its energy towards the dancefloor.

It is a combination that has always been central to queer club culture. Music can offer release, connection and the freedom to experience complicated emotions without having to explain them.

For artists like MUNA, that relationship between personal storytelling and collective joy is not simply an aesthetic. It is an important part of what makes their music resonate with LGBTQ+ listeners.

I’m leaving here below the original song …. because it’s Friyay and it’s time to sing, babes!

Arlo Parks and Porches Complete the Deluxe Edition

The expanded album also includes Arlo Parks’ So What (Summer Was Ecstasy Version) and Porches’ Buzzkiller (Nevada Remix), bringing two more distinctive creative perspectives to the record.

Parks has built her reputation through intimate, emotionally observant songwriting, frequently exploring the complexities of relationships, identity and growing up. Porches, meanwhile, brings an alternative electronic sensibility to MUNA’s increasingly expansive sound.

Together, the four new tracks extend an album that already explores desire, intimacy, uncertainty and connection. The original 13-song Dancing on the Wall, released in May and produced by MUNA’s Naomi McPherson, has now become a 17-track release.

It is another example of queer and queer-adjacent artists building creative connections across contemporary pop music.

The Gayly Mirror has been celebrating that same diversity of expression through recent releases, including Gigi Perez’s emotional new single ‘Favor’ and David Archuleta’s new Christmas music.

Different artists, different sounds, but one shared quality: the freedom to express identity and emotion without apology.

More Than Music: MUNA’s LGBTQ+ Community Connection

MUNA’s connection to LGBTQ+ audiences extends well beyond their lyrics.

The trio recently appeared at Chappell Roan’s The Super Graphic Spectacular in Los Angeles, an event that raised $2 million for organisations supporting transgender young people and LGBTQ+ communities across the United States, according to their record label.

The band are also preparing to return to Europe and the UK, with two London performances at the Eventim Apollo included in their touring plans.

For fans, it is another opportunity to experience music that has become closely associated with contemporary queer culture, collective celebration and the emotional freedom of the dancefloor.

Queer Pop Is Having Its Moment, and We’re Here for It

Dancing on the Wall (Deluxe Edition) arrives on 13 November, while Avalon Emerson’s remix is already available to listen to.

The remaining collaborations promise fresh interpretations of MUNA’s music, with Romy’s contribution undoubtedly providing one of the release’s most intriguing moments.

And if you needed another reminder that queer pop can be emotional, intelligent, gloriously dramatic and completely unapologetic, MUNA have just delivered it.

Now, about that lesbian trance remix. November 13 cannot come soon enough.
