In The Pines is an album by The Triffids, released in August, 1986 and reached No. 69 on the Australian Album Charts.[1]

The album was recorded in a woolshed on a remote Western Australian farming property, owned by the McComb's parents, on an eight-track machine for a grand total of $1190 (the album notes that $340 of this was spent on alcohol (beer, wine and vodka), superseding the bill for food of $310 and also the $300 dollars for recording equipment hire and $240 for petrol.

"It was just an idea that had been kicking around for some time. We had some time to do it and it was something that didn’t involve a huge effort to do. If it didn’t work, it didn’t work. It didn’t matter. It was something of a holiday really. At the very least we would have had a chance to play the songs and if it didn't work out have demoed some songs for the next album. It was just something that we did and which turned out to be releasable." - Graham Lee

The reissue by Domino Records in 2006 yielded three more songs that were held over for Calenture: "A Trick Of The Light", "Blinder By The Hour" and "Jerdacuttup Man". The reissue was remixed by Bruce Callaway, the sound engineer of the original recordings.
