New music: Just Mustard - Still
New music: Just Mustard - Still
Your head immediately spins from the whirring noise, but if you stick around for long enough, the sting of perhaps the most beautiful yet terrifying bass note knocks you straight.
If it weren’t for the vocals, you’d have thought you’d just walked into your local drug lord's front room with peeling wallpaper and guns lying around.
Individually, the sounds would make you shit your pants. Collectively, you can’t turn them off.
There’s an irresistible momentum behind the track that fills you with an urge to do something menacingly fulfilling like pushing your dickhead neighbour's black bin over.
It’s just… outrageously cool.
It’s as if the fairy godmother tried to bring a singing candlestick holder to life to dance and sing about love but missed and hit the tunnel borer in the background.
Is it terrifying? Yes. Would I tell people that my new favourite genre was horror music? Absolutely not. Did Still instantly pique my interest? Yes. And has it been on repeat for the last couple of days? You bet’cha.
There’s something freeing about loving something you know your parents would despise.
Still is the lead single from their second album Heart Under - out on 27 May via Partisan Records - is produced by the band and mixed by David Wrench, whose previous collaborators include Frank Ocean, Let’s Eat Grandma, Jamie xx, FKA twigs and beyond.

The art of stopping: why Cross the Tracks makes perfect sense
It felt almost too late, but equally reassuring. Sat on the hill over at the Terminal stage, KOKOROKO echoing over the chatter, the sun taking rest after beating everyone up all day, Cross the Tracks made perfect sense. The day before, we'd taken the gruelling journey to Alexandr

The 4-Minute Interstellar Scene That Literally Stopped My Breathing
It’s haunting. No one can quite put their finger on it, yet nearly everyone has felt it. It touches you, making the touch of everything else feel significant. You don’t notice the slight breeze on your face from the air conditioning until the first notes start playing. Your breat

I watched a band call themselves 'Britain's best' and walked out a believer. Getdown Services @ Electric Ballroom, Camden
Getdown Services call themselves “Britain’s best band,” and honestly, after last night, I’m not arguing. The Minehead-born, Bristol-based lads turned Camden’s Electric Ballroom into a sweaty, chaotic sermon of sarcasm, funk, and full-throttle weirdness. The kind of gig where you
