Irish band Just Mustard are back with their first new music in three years. “Pollyana” picks up where 2022’s “Heart Under” left off, with blisteringly loud guitar haze floating atmospherically around a driving bassline and breakbeat drumming.
The latest from Just Mustard finds them taking a deeper dive into the experimental ambiance of shoegaze. A minimalist drone of sound anchors the vocals, holding the song together. Katie Ball’s voice has just enough of a piercing quality to make this work. If you were hoping for a more guitar-oriented track, this is not it, but it does work well at creating the dreamy vibes that keep the band from being boxed into a singular aspect of the genre they are associated with.
The video was directed by singer Katie Ball, who says, “We shot the video using different CCTV and VHS cameras around our hometown Dundalk trying to have as much fun as possible, the kind of fun that makes you feel sick almost instantly, which suits the themes of the song.”
We are also happy to announce that we have a run of intimate shows across the world this September. Sign up to our mailing list at justmustard.ie to access presale 10am local time tomorrow, Wednesday 18th June.
