The 1986 album "Human Frailty" found Hunters & Collectors pivoting towards a more atmospheric and melodic sound, diverging from their earlier aggressive style. It marked a significant, if commercially challenging, artistic evolution for the band.
- The album was recorded at Richmond Recorders in Melbourne with producer Chris van Dyk. It featured a more restrained and introspective feel compared to the band's previous output. The album yielded the singles "The Way You Walk" and "When the River Runs Dry."
- The album was released on White Label Records in April 1986. It was a departure from the band's established sound, exploring new wave and atmospheric rock territories. Lead singer Mark Seymour described the album as a "desperate plea."
- Despite its artistic merits, "Human Frailty" did not achieve the commercial success of some of their other albums. It showcased the band's willingness to experiment and push their musical boundaries. The album is often cited as a fan favorite for its moodiness and lyrical depth.
