Pitchfork: Domino Continues Triffids Mania

Domino will follow the August reissue of the Triffids' Born Sandy Devotional with its next two entries in the Triffids reissue campaign: 1986's In the Pines and 1987's Calenture. While both reissues came out February 5 in the UK and Europe, the label will release them on February 20 in the U.S.

The In the Pines reissue intersperses its bonus tracks with the tracks from the original album. Though they were recorded in the same session, most of the bonus tracks on In the Pines appeared in different versions on Calenture. Originally produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Echo & the Bunnymen), the Calenture reissue comes as a two-disc set. The first disc features the original album along with five bonus tracks, and the second is comprised almost entirely of rehearsal and studio demos.

Domino recently commissioned a video for Calenture's "Save What You Can" featuring occasional Pavement cover artist Steve Keene painting portraits in his Brooklyn studio. In the next week, the label will give away Keene paintings inspired by the video to five randomly selected people who sign up for the Triffids newsletter here.

Domino will reissue even more Triffids albums this year and next year. Those albums are Treeless Plain, Raining Pleasure, The Black Swan, and Field of Glass.
