WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

The Hammer & The Brush

Posted about 1 year ago



It's the middle of summer, which means it's winter in New Zealand. Which means, I'm thinking about how great The Chills are again. They made great music for any time of year. Check out this combo... The first song "I Think I'd Thought I'd Nothing Else To Think About" is a brilliant post-punk rave up (pulled, pops and all, from my flexie disk I got out of a magazine... i think it sounds fantastic...) and (in the comments) I follow it up with an orchestral swirl of a story (aided by Van Dyke Parks) called "Water Wolves."

Martin Phillipps is an amazing song writer of such depth that he deserves every chance to be heard... (artwork created for my "Best of The Chills" mix cd...)
