The latest from Just Mustard is going to be a hard sell for some of you (in the best possible way). "POLLYANNA" starts off with one of the most intense bursts of feedback we've heard in a while, and then a jazz style drumming starts with the feedback acting almost like a siren. Then front woman Katie Ball's vocals work their way in in such a lush and dreamlike way that the beauty is sort of jarring next to the cacophony that is also going on. The Dundalk, Ireland band have created this intense mix of beauty and discordance that is going to either suck you in completely or repel you. Eventually, the two sonically different sides merge into one that resides in the middle... or maybe we just grow to accept the noise by the end.
Katie Ball says of her band's new video:
“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."
