1990s Australian indie favourites Custard are returning in 2024 with their ninth studio album, Suburban Curtains and a 14 date national tour – including dates in Melbourne, Castlemaine and Gippsland.
“This is a love song. A long human relationship in three inscrutable verses and one equivocating bridge,” the band said in a statement.
“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.”
Custard’s career stretches almost 35 years with the band becoming cult favourites during the 1990s with hits like Apartment, Girls Like That, Music is Crap and Anatomically Correct.
Fans of Bluey may also recognise the lead singer, Dave McCormack, as the voice of Bandit Heeler.
Tickets for the 2024 tour are on sale now.
