Anyone who has followed Martin Phillipps and the Chills over the years should find poignancy and a little illumination in this, an oddly charming, occasionally wacky album assembled from the songwriter's home demos. The 17 tracks, which include some sketchy ditties, date mostly from the nineties. Only one song, the hymnal Secret Garden, had made it to a Chills album proper.
The purpose of this blog is to expose you to the unique and unrepeatable New Zealand scene known as "Dunedin Sound" that emerged in New Zealand in the early eighties. This space takes over from wonderful blogs that in their time served to make known to the world some of the most significant bands and records of that period. The present collection is dedicated to all those kiwi bands -many of them already forgotten- who, without knowing it, wrote a very important page in the history of music.
