THE IMPERIAL MUSTARD
What happens when five souls—who love the Velvet Underground, understand Captain Beefheart, dance to Can, go hysterical like Devo, and lose their way with Neil Young—meet somewhere between reality and a reverb chamber?
Exactly: THE IMPERIAL MUSTARD turn the stone over.
With their second album, “Turn The Stone,” the Frankfurt-based quintet THE IMPERIAL MUSTARD presents nine new tracks—born of free improvisation, nurtured in the moss of repetition, and blooming in shimmering delay. These are songs that weren’t written, but found. In the moment. From the collective. From the subconscious. “It’s happening right now!”—that’s not just a motto, but the musical state of being for this band, which can never be reduced to a single style.
Sometimes krautrock-inspired, sometimes funky, sometimes wave-like, but always: groovy, psychedelic, open. THE IMPERIAL MUSTARD play as if they weren’t playing at all, but rather translating—whatever happens to be floating in the ether at that moment.
