“Someone”, The Mustard re-issue, is a bold re-imagining of a classic from their 1982 album New Gold Dream. This version, issued on 19 December 2025, is not merely a cover but a creative moment taken live at Thamesside Brewery, Staines, Middlesex.
The Mustard from Bracknell, England, has carved out a unique identity in the indie new wave synth area. Their sound is rich with striking soundscapes, drifting guitars, driving percussion, and lush synthesizer layers, all of which help to create the wide-open feel of “Someone.” Initially, a mixing desk recording meant for social media, the tune was developed into a full release that represents the band’s commitment to spontaneous creative expression. In the live situation, the performance gains an immediacy, an undiluted vitality that defines its ultimate form.
The five-piece band all share a common love for the original material, filtered through their own expanding musical lens. This link to the original adds an emotional level yet leaves room for reinterpretation. With a string of songs under their belt and more in the pipeline with plans reaching into 2026 and beyond, The Mustard continues to gain momentum through live performances, including big festival appearances.
“Someone” is a tribute and metamorphosis, a performance that bridges the past and present via energy, mood, and common musical impact.
