Just Mustard - Release new single 'Pollyanna'

Huge supports and a bright future for Just Mustard

Today, Dundalk five-piece Just Mustard have returned with their first new music in three years, the maximalist 'Pollyanna', a song that pushes the band’s restless innovation to the fore, signalling a moment of evolution for Just Mustard. The band have also announced a select run of shows in intimate venues, which provide a rare opportunity to experience the band’s enveloping sound in close quarters. 'Pollyanna' feels like a moment of clarity for the band.

Their sound has become even more enveloping, a thrilling collision of warped guitars, submerged beats, and front woman Katie Ball’s dreamlike vocals pushed higher in the mix than ever before. The sense of disorientation is still there, but there is also a new embrace of directness and melody. The track was partly inspired by a sense of “toxic happiness”, with the titular Pollyanna meaning an optimistic person. The track comes paired with a mesmerising CCTV-styled video directed by Katie Ball.

'Pollyanna' is the first original music from Just Mustard since 2022’s acclaimed album 'Heart Under', which received praise from many newspapers and magazines. The band subsequently went on a world tour and have previously supported The Cure, Depeche Mode, and Fontaines D.C. The band will be playing select festival dates in 2025 including Green Man Festival in Wales, Electric Picnic in Dublin, and a US date at Seisiún Festival in Boston.
