About this album

Calenture is one of The Triffids’ most ambitious and fully realised albums, blending folk rock, pop rock and indie grit with David McComb’s vivid, literate writing. Released in 1988, it followed the band’s growing international profile and sharpened their reputation for songs that balanced rough-edged emotional weight with melodic clarity. The album moves between intimate confessions and cinematic Australian imagery, with standout pieces such as Bury Me Deep in Love and Jerdacuttup Man showing the group’s gift for turning place and feeling into something larger than life. It remains a key late-80s statement from one of Australia’s most distinctive bands.
