Album Notes This 2008 reissue adds an interview snippet and six live tracks. Personnel: David McComb (vocals, various instruments, guitar, piano); Robert McComb (vocals, guitar, violin, keyboards, musical saw); Alsy Macdonald (vocals, hammer dulcimer, drums, percussion); Martyn Casey (vocals, bass guitar); David Angell (viola); Ian Macourt (cello); Jill Birt (organ). Audio Mixer: Nick Mainsbridge. Audio Remixer: Nick Mainsbridge. Originally released in 1983, TREELESS PLAIN was the first album by Australian post-punks the Triffids. Although it's smaller in scope than later, majestic-sounding albums like 1985's BORN SANDY DEVOTIONAL, these songs make plain leader David McCombs's knack for insightful, quirky lyrics and sparse, country- and folk-influenced indie rock tunes. Particular highlights include the college radio favorite "My Baby Thinks She's A Train."
