Though recorded in London, Born Sandy Devotional is the closest anyone has come to articulating the dizzying light and awesome space of the Australian interior in song. Triffids singer and songwriter David McComb was fascinated throughout his career by the vastness of his homeland, and the possibilities of freedom and loneliness it contained. The titles of these extraordinary songs tell half the story themselves: "Lonely Stretch", "Wide Open Road", "Estuary Bed". On Born Sandy Devotional, McComb turns an array of skilfully-drawn characters--vengeful lovers, would-be killers, desperate suicides, unmissed drifters--loose on the emptiness, and narrates their misadventures with typical lyrical eloquence. Behind him, The Triffids sound like a desert highway feels. Simply one of the greatest albums of the 1980s. --Andrew Mueller
