original vinyl copies. the triffids' first single was released in 1981, but the band's full-length debut, 'treeless plain', didn't emerge until two years later. by then, the group had relocated from perth to sydney and solidified its lineup with the addition of jill birt. quickly recorded with spare production, the songs are recorded as they would be played live, making them immediate and fresh. all the songs bar two were written by david mccomb, who eventually tragically drank himself to death at the age of 36. the overriding themes are guilt, shame, cynicism and despair. the album is a gothic folk / country post-punk masterpiece and is one of the three best albums ever to come out of australia.
