Just Mustard announce big tour for 2026.

Just Mustard is Katie BallDavid NoonanMete KalyoncuoğluRob Clarke, and Shane MaguireWE WERE JUST HERE signals a pivotal moment for the band. While Just Mustard’s signature elements are still intact —warped guitars, twisted sound design drawing from the luminary world of Aphex Twin, and cavernous low ends—this time, it’s all been channeled into a warmer and more anthemic path. The strange and distinct universe the band creates on WE WERE JUST HERE is reinforced with haunting interludes of speech and noise, snippets of voice memos, and elements from various demos. Whereas Heart Under explored themes of grief and longing, the songs here draw from a wide spectrum of emotion and feeling, with characters searching for ecstasy, holding onto love, and grasping for the rush of feeling alive.

Ireland’s Just Mustard return with a new single/video, “POLLYANNA,” via Partisan, and announce an intimate New York show on Tuesday, September 9th at National Sawdust. Following the release of their “thrillingly untraditional” (NME) 2022 breakout, Heart Under“POLLYANNA” is a luminous and lurching first tease of their highly anticipated third album due later this year. Anchored by the group’s signature sonic disorientation but newly embracing directness and melody, “POLLYANNA” sets the tone for a new era of Just Mustard, one that finds beauty in contradiction, pairing the raw power of noise-rock with a conflicted optimism that’s as disarming as it is cathartic. With warped guitars, submerged beats, and front woman Katie Ball’s dreamlike vocals pushed higher in the mix than ever before, it captures the band at a turning point: reaching for euphoria while wrestling with its emotional cost.

Ball, who directed the video herself, comments: “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.”
