On Mushroom Records, Australian Melodrama frames The Triffids' songwriting across Alternative Rock, Country Rock, Pop Rock and Indie Rock — a distinctly Australian take that moves from jangling uptempo tracks to slow, melancholic ballads. David McComb’s lyric-driven delivery and the band’s twang-tinged arrangements give the record cinematic sweep without losing indie grit. streaming registers 2,738 listens from 156 users, a modest but sustained audience.
