“Come Back, All is Forgiven” is Custard’s sixth album, released in November 2015 after a 16-year break. The album features the lineup of David McCormack, Glenn Thompson, Paul Medew, and Matthew Strong. The songs were recorded at Horses Of Australia Studio over a weekend in February 2015, with additional overdubs added by David at Sonar Studio and Glenn at Horses Of Australia Studio. Glenn took a couple of months to mix the album.
The single “We Are The Parents (Our Parents Warned Us About)” was released to radio in September 2015.
The recording process for the album was relatively fast-paced, as David noted that it seems like they have become quicker at recording as they grew older.
Their latest release, “Respect All Lifeforms,” was primarily recorded in a single morning at Poons Head Studio in Fremantle. Interestingly, the band members hadn’t heard each other’s songs prior to recording and simply jammed them out together.
