We Have the Technology, the fourth album from Brisbane's Custard, landed on September 15, 1997, between Wisenheimer and Loverama, and it's the sound of a band that treats indie rock as a place to muck about. Singer David McCormack leads a lineup with Paul Medew and Matthew Strong from the early days, plus Glenn Thompson, who joined in 1996, and the songs come loaded with cheeky titles and a shrugging, sideways wit.
Three singles came off it: "Nice Bird", "Anatomically Correct" and the gleefully cranky "Music Is Crap". The afterlife is the funny part: the guitar riff from "Pinball Lez" later turned up in the kids' TV show Bluey, which counts McCormack himself among its cast. The album finally got pressed on vinyl in 2017.
