I had heard the Triffids' name but had no real idea of what they'd sound like. This album is almost indie-meets-gospel. It has a really raw, soulful feel that is admittedly curtailed somewhat by the amount of studio sheen heaped on it.
The musical style, combined with David McComb's deep and declamatory vocal delivery make the music sound like a more upbeat take on early-mid era Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Not surprising then that bass-player Martyn Casey would later go on to play in the Bad Seeds.
Definitely enjoyed this and will keep it in mind for further investigation at a later date.
