Some JOY DIVISION live music
came out back in 1980 and 1981.

First, the registration of a concert in Preston, UK. You can stream it here.
The recording took place a few weeks before Ian Curtis‘s death (18 May 1980).

A year later saw the release of a double album called Still. It consisted of previously released and unreleased studio material and a live recording of Joy Division‘s last
concert, performed at Birmingham University, 2 May 1980.

Now Warner Bros Music just announced a new, expansive JD project.
A live boxset featuring no less than 14 CDs and 2 DVDs, titled ETERNAL.

The collection reveals audio from 16 live performances, meticulously sourced
from audience recorded cassettes, soundboard tapes and broadcast recordings,
all mastered at Abbey Road Studios.

The two DVDs show over 2hrs 30mins of live shows, including the previously
unseen Plan K, Brussels concert and the Apollo Theatre, Manchester gig. Both
have only been partially released on VHS, in 1982, and get a brand new edit
here for the box.

Along with the news we get a preview of of an emotional live version of their

A Blair Witch Experience – Sound Mavericks JUST MUSTARD Transfix With Arousing Second Album ‘HEART UNDER’

Posted on by JL

6 June 2022

Band: JUST MUSTARD
Who: Post-punk 5-piece from Dundalk, Ireland

New album: HEART UNDER
Their second longplayer. Order info here.

Press info: “Heart Under is an album that asks you to forget what you know.
At every turn, this remarkable record reconfigures and stretches the ideas and
ambition of a rock band, and turns a year of lockdown and personal struggles
into a breathtaking artistic statement.”

NME‘s verdict: “After being dubbed a shoegaze band on their 2018 debut album, its industrial yet dreamy follow-up ensures the Dundalk five-piece won’t be put in any boxes at all… Since the release of their debut album ‘Wednesday’ in 2018, Dundalk five-piece Just Mustard have been gradually shifting their sound towards something more uncategorisable. Through the singles ‘Frank’, ‘October’ and ‘Seven’ as well as tours with Fontaines D.C. and gigs alongside The Cure, the band’s sound has slowly shifted towards heavier, noisier tones and left behind the shoegaze tag that has followed them around since the release of their debut. On ‘Heart Under’, their second album and first for Partisan, they present themselves as a truly unique gem.”
Full interview here. Score: 5/5.

Turn Up The Volume: I still wonder why, when listening to music (every single day since I was kid), all sort of images can just pop up like that. Like here with this excellent record. From opener 23 on I had a Blair Witch experience with flashes of angst (I Am You / Sore / Rivers), of puzzlement (In Shade / Seed) and of bafflement, actually the whole ride trough. It feels like wandering in that very movie forest at night, having no idea where you are. At times paralyzed, at times besotted by adrenaline rushing through your veins.

The band’s noise-exploring spirit is all over Heart Under. The dazzling combination of spooky guitars, chilling electronics and Katie Ball‘s ghostly voice – balancing somewhere between Zola Jesus and a young Kate Bush – create hallucinatory sensations like if this record was produced by Joy Divison’s wizard producer Martin Hannett. A feel that already hit me a couple of months ago when they were the support act for their countrymen stars Fontaines D.C. in Antwerp, Belgium.

Just Mustard operates between reality and surreality.
