Australian indie pop statesmen Custard unveil new single ‘In The Grand Scheme Of Things (None Of This
Really Matters)’, the sweeping opener to their seventh album The Common Touch, coming Oct 6 through ABC
Music.

The Sydney-via-Brisbane gents have clearly been busy since their 2015 release Come Back All Is Forgiven,
which fans waited 16 years for. The Common Touch, far from sounding like a hasty sequel, is a highly polished
and expansive affair that explores diverse themes, and is replete with adventurous arrangements.
Featuring the classic lineup of frontman David McCormack, drummer Glenn Thompson, bass player Paul
Medew and guitarist Matthew Strong, the album was recorded in Leichhardt, Botany and Bexley, mixed in
Marrickville and mastered in Ventura California.

Formed in Brisbane in 1990, Custard released a series of classic albums over the next decade, including
Wisenheimer, We Have the Technology and Loverama. The band developed a cult following, playing countless
unforgettable shows at home and abroad, as well as producing a parade of memorable singles, including
‘Apartment’ and ‘Girls Like That (Don’t Go For Guys Like Us)’.
