THE CHILLS
Seminal New Zealand band known for their atmospheric yet bright, guitar-fueled indie pop.
The Chills were one of New Zealand's best and most popular bands of the '80s, making
a small but consistent series of chiming, hook-laden guitar pop. Both the songs
and the arrangements were constructed with interweaving guitar hooks and
vocal harmonies, creating a pretty, almost lush, sound that never fell into
cloying sentimentality. Throughout their existence, the band's personnel changed
frequently -- there were more than ten different lineups -- with the only constant
member being guitarist Martin Phillipps, the band's founder. Phillipps began
playing music with the New Zealand punk band the Same in 1978.
Following in the footsteps of the Clean and the Enemy, the Same played mostly covers,
creating a raw fusion of British Invasion and garage rock. However, the group never recorded.
Phillipps applied the same approach for the Chills, the band he formed in 1980
with his sister Rachel and Jane Dodd (bass) after the Same fell apart.
In 1982, the Chills signed with Flying Nun, the influential New Zealand independent record label,
and released several singles that were never widely distributed in America and Europe
"PINK FROST / PURPLE GIRL"
