Text excerpt by Saddest Factory:

"...Described, accurately, by Gavin as “Lilith Fair-core,” 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. “What A Relief explores and portrays it honestly, without shame.”

On What A Relief, as on her work with MUNA, Gavin proves herself as one of her generation’s most deft songwriters, able to articulate discomfiting feelings with grace and pragmatism. “Aftertaste” indulges in the headrush of new romance. Effortless in the way all Gavin’s best pop songs are – and, incidentally, written on the same day as MUNA’s 2022 hit “Silk Chiffon” – “Aftertaste” leaps and stumbles forward toward desire, its recklessness part of the fun. “As Good As It Gets,” a collaboration with Mitski, reckons with the idea that healthy, long-term love won’t always be high highs and low lows, the calmness of its refrain – “I think this is as good as it gets” – both comforting and a little cold. “It’s about being in what I thought was a healthy relationship, and wondering ‘Is this good enough if I don’t feel high from it?’” she says. “There’s a little bit of disappointment there in the actual everyday experience of having intimacy with somebody.”..."
