If Wednesday was the roaring sea, 'Frank' is the aftermath on the storm-ravaged beach. Just Mustard's first single since releasing their critically-acclaimed debut album last year follows a metronome beat, a deadened bass and trademark lurching percussion. Perhaps the most noticeable difference in comparison to previous releases is how much more audible the lead vocals are, removing a small layer of mystery, but not too much. The final 45 seconds of 'Frank' still see the skulking unseen leviathan sound roused, a presence in their music which is summoned both live and on record, those eyes want to and will consume you with distortion and sluggish menace. Once again, almost effortlessly, Just Mustard have released an imperious single which gets the listener in their magnetic choke-hold.
'Frank' / 'October' will be released as a double A-Side on limited edition 12" vinyl on 1st of June and can be pre-ordered here https://justmustard.bandcamp.com/album/frank-october
