CUSTARD DROPS NEW SINGLE & ANNOUNCES FORTHCOMING ALBUM

Responding to suggestions that they have always been nothing more than a primitive wet dream of a 56k modem, Custard are back with new music and new gigs in the year that is 2024.

The indie rockers today release the first single Molecules Colliding from their forthcoming album, Suburban Curtains which will be available on Friday 11th October.  Pre-sale available here for the new album.  Fans will be pleased to hear that the band will also tour extensively across the country through November/December.

Says the band about the new single “This is a love song. A long human relationship in three inscrutable verses and one equivocating bridge. Luckily the chorus is empowering in its embrace of contrasts of scale, and recognition of the echoes and repetition within physics and humanity. The finale is open ended, lyrically anticipatory and musically truncated. A study in contradiction and reflection.”

Having formed in Brisbane in 1990, Custard released five albums over the following decade (Buttercup/Bedford, Wahooti Fandango, Wisenheimer, We Have the Technology and Loverama). The band developed a cult following, playing countless shows around the country and touring overseas, as well as producing a parade of memorable singles, several of which became entrenched in Australian pop music history. ‘Apartment’ polled higher than any other local artist in triple j’s Hottest 100 in 1995, with ‘Girls Like That (Don’t Go For Guys Like Us)’ coming in at #3 in the 1998 vote, before the group disbanded in 1999. No reason was given or research conducted.

Since reforming, the band has released 4 albums, “Come Back All is Forgiven” (2015), “The Common Touch” (2017), “The Band Live In The Basement” (2018), and eight album “Respect All Lifeforms” (2020) showed they’re just a damn fine pop band. As Glenn declared, “I like to dance around to almost any sound.”
