Loverama, Custard's fifth studio album, came out in June 1999 and gave the Brisbane band their best chart showing, peaking at number 19 on the ARIA chart. The lineup of David McCormack, Paul Medew, Matthew Strong and Glenn Thompson had been locked in since Thompson came aboard in 1996, and it shows in the easy, ramshackle confidence of the thing: wry, hooky indie pop that never takes itself too seriously.
"Girls Like That (Don't Go For Guys Like Us)" is the calling card, a song that went on to win an ARIA Award, with "Ringo (I Feel Like...)" and the knowingly titled "Hit Song" riding alongside. Some copies came as a two-CD set with a companion disc called Custaro Musico, borrowing the band's long-running nickname. Then the lights went out: it was their last release for 16 years, until Come Back, All Is Forgiven in 2015.
