Just Mustard

Just Mustard’s inspirations include My Bloody Valentine, Ride and Slowdive. These figureheads of the shoegaze genre created thick walls of sound that concealed dreamlike music, performed by people who, well, gazed at their shoes. Shoegaze developed during the 1990s. Just Mustard make a modern version that incorporates trip-hop and electro. The five from Dundalk in Ireland self-financed the album ‘Wednesday’ (2018), which was nominated for the Choice Music Prize, the annual award for the best Irish album. This has led to a contract with the American Partisan Records, the label of IDLES and Fontaines D.C. ‘Heart Under’ (2022) was their first collaboration. In the meantime, they’ve gained their first famous fan: Robert Smith of The Cure.
