Default The Triffids


Another one of the finest bands ever to come out of Australia (Perth in this case), this here's the creative vehicle for a certain David McComb (RIP), and a really neat combo of retro indie, folk rock with a few shades of psychedelia and post-punk there to spice things up a bit - kinda like a more psychedelic version of Starfish-era Church, at least to these ears.

Born Sandy Devotional (the middle one) is my personal favourite, and easily one of the truly great Australian albums, but the other two pictured (In the Pines and Treeless Plain) are well worth having too...


...and a couple of videos. Listen, discuss, say 'hey, I know these guys - you're so great Bulldog; I wish I could be more like you' or don't;
