Mixed at The Fallout Shelter, London, November, 1988.
The Black Swan is the fifth and final studio album by The Triffids, released in April 1989 and peaking at No. 59 on the Australian Album Charts. The album was originally conceived as a double album. In the recording sessions the Triffids were joined by producer Stephen Street (the Smiths' - Strangeways, Here We Come and Morrissey's Viva Hate)
the Black Swan' has always been the album that divided Triffids fans - it was an eclectic mix of styles at the time and, though this seems a little less unusual these days, it's still mighty eclectic. the black swan' was the band's 1989 swan song, and features the hit 'goodbye little boy'. originally intended to be a sprawling double album masterwork, this reissue restores the album to David McComb's original vision, via the inclusion of six extras tracks, and a bonus disc of 17 demo recordings.
Originally released as a single album, "The Black Swan" is reshaped to the sprawling double album it was always intended to be, and can now be seen as their "White Album".
Black Swan was intended to be the Triffids' White Album. As is the often the way with such things, it wasn't - though the band's leader, the late David McComb, certainly had no shortage of ideas on how acoustic and electronic music could be put together. Too many ideas, in fact: half of this could be painlessly dropped. As cousins of The The and Lloyd Cole's sweepingly dramatic, lyrical, 1980s indie-rock, the Triffids are placed neatly between Orange Juice's shorts'n'sandals romanticism and pin-sharp 2008 indie-pop such as the Elephants
Trotz ihrer vergleichsweise begrenzten Existenzdauer und dem mehr als überschaubaren Oeuvre, gelten die australischen Triffids als einigermaßen wegweisend. Bereits 1981 von den zwei Brüdern David und Robert McComb sowie Schlagzeuger Alsy MacDonald gegründet, vergrößerte sich die Band für die Veröffentlichung ihres 1983er Debüt-Albums auf ein Quintett.
