Lucy Dacus and MUNA’s Katie Gavin are on the latest cover of Alternative Press, and the duo paid tribute to an iconic Vanity Fair cover for their photoshoot.

In the snap, Dacus is seen in a barber chair with shaving cream on her face, as Gavin gives her a sensual shave while wearing a black one-piece leotard. The snap recreates the Vanity Fair cover from 1993 featuring k.d. Lang and Cindy Crawford, photographed by Herb Ritts.

Gavin and Dacus are heading out on tour together this year, in support of the latter’s recently released album, Forever Is a Feeling. Gavin called the project Dacus’ “best one yet” in the Alternative Press conversation between the two, and Dacus agreed, noting that she feels “closer and closer to [making] music I would listen to.”

Gavin then added, “After I listened to your record this morning, I was like, ‘I think this is more love songs than I’ve ever written in my life on one album.’ It’s so beautiful. […] There’s so much real intimacy on this record and things that make me laugh ’cause they’re so real, but it’s also blissed out and genuinely romantic.”

Dacus, who recently revealed that she and her boygenius bandmate Julien Baker are in a relationship, also recently opened up to Billboard about the romantic themes of her album. “Once you focus on one thing and one person, it actually recontextualizes everything else, and you realize that every detail is its own universe,” she said.
