"Holy Water" was the third single taken from Australian rock group The Triffids' Calenture album, and was released in August 1988. It was produced by Craig Leon (The Ramones, Blondie, The Bangles) and was written by lead guitarist and lead singer David McComb. This was one of only two tracks (the other was "Bury Me Deep in Love") that resulted from Leon's production of the band's fourth album.^[1][2] The production costs of Leon's efforts were more than the total costs of the band's break-through album, Born Sandy Devotional.^[2] The record sleeve however credits the production to Gil Norton who produced the remainder of the album with the band.^[3] The single was released as 7", 12" and CD single versions by Island Records but failed to chart in either Australia or the United Kingdom.
