Calenture

by The Triffids

The 1911th greatest album of all time

Calenture, released in 1987 by Australian band The Triffids, finds the group moving from their earlier spare, rootsy sound toward a more polished, cinematic rock and pop palette. David McComb's evocative, melancholic vocals and narrative lyrics sit against fuller arrangements that blend electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards and occasional strings, producing a brooding, widescreen atmosphere and recurring themes of longing and displacement. The album includes the ballad "Bury Me Deep in Love" and is often noted for its denser production and emotionally resonant songs compared with the band’s earlier records.
