Kaleidoscope World
“In early ’80s Dunedin, the Chills were at the forefront of an extraordinary little guitar-pop scene. This reissue of their debut—a major document of their early era—extends the album to 24 tracks.”
Spring Board: The Early Unrecorded Songs
“A final album from the New Zealand indie-pop vets revives decades-old compositions by its late frontman with winsome optimism and a keen eye for the passage of time.”
Snow Bound
“An architect of New Zealand’s fabled Dunedin sound returns with another dose of heavenly pop. This time, he may even be happy.”
Silver Bullets
“If there is one characteristic that has defined the music of the New Zealand group the Chills over the course of their 35-year, on-and-off, up-and-down existence, it’s their ability to summon a kind of effortless beauty. Their first album in 19 years finds them doing what they do best.”
