Album Review: Custard - Come Back, All Is Forgiven

Brisbane's arch funsters Custard return with their first album in 16 years (sixth overall) and deliver a lesson on comebacks.

All of their beloved traits remain — laidback music, wry lyrics and that overarching playfulness — yet the results seem timeless. From the lilting country opener Orchids In Water to the cruisy indie of We Are The Parents (Our Parents Warned Us About) and the catchy melodicism of Warren Rd and Rice & Beans it all seems like proto-Custard, only the reminiscing throughout 1990's and Queensland University betray the passing of time at all. Welcome home.
