}}Raining Pleasure by Australian folk rock group The Triffids was released as a 12" extended play in 1984,[1] and reached No. 95 on the Australian Charts.[2] Its seven tracks were co-produced by the group with Nick Mainsbridge – who also supplied trumpet.[1]

Although the EP has not been in print for some time, selected tracks appeared on the Love in Bright Landscapes (1986) and Australian Melodrama (1994) compilations, while all seven tracks were compiled on Beautiful Waste and Other Songs in 2008.

Further details

McComb said of the recording, "All of these songs are hysterical exercises to try and deceive people into thinking that the narrator is feeling one way, when it can be a damning indictment of the narrator of the song. He’s the person mouthing off, covering up this great big hole. Mr. Butcher it was who said 'bluster emptily', which is the feeling of someone trying to hide an enormous wound by an enormous amount of words."[3]

In 1992 Greek indie band, Rest in Peace, were renamed as Raining Pleasure based on the title track. "Raining Pleasure" was covered by Australian band, The Paradise Motel, on their 1996 EP, Some Deaths Take Forever, which is mostly a heavily processed instrumental, with few recognisable vocal fragments. During 2007 Paul Kelly performed the track as a duet with his support act New Buffalo (a.k.a. Sally Seltmann) on his Stolen Apples Tour of Australia.[4][5] They recorded a live version on 20 September for Kelly's DVD, Live Apples (April 2008).[6]

Reception

Mat Snow said, "Check out the mock-Christian celibacy of "Jesus Calling", or the loathing that spews out in "Property Is Condemned", The Triffids most viciously compelling song, both off ‘84’s excellent Raining Pleasure mini-LP."[3]
