Description

Released in 1986, Hunters and Collectors’ album Human Frailty is one of the most important Australian albums of the last two decades of the twentieth century. It was pivotal in the group’s career and marked the group’s move into pub rock. It is unashamedly concerned with love and desire. The album challenged traditional understandings of Australian masculinity while playing music to predominantly male audiences. No other Australian group would have dared, or indeed been able, to get their audience to roar ‘You don’t make me feel like a woman anymore,’ the culminating line off Hunan Frailty’s first track, and the first single taken from the album, “Say Goodbye”. The second track on the album, “Throw Your Arms Around Me” has become an Australian standard, an anthem sung drunkenly more by women than men, in pubs, at weddings and similar occasions. Human Frailty is an album that transcended the critical categories of its time.
