The Chills is an indie rock band that was founded in 1980 in Dunedin, New Zealand. Over the years, the band has gone through various phases with different members, each contributing their unique talents to the group's sound.

From its early days with Martin Phillipps, Peter Gutteridge, Alan Haig, Jane Dodd, and Rachel Phillipps to its current lineup featuring Martin Phillipps, Callum Hampton, Oli Wilson, Todd Knudson, and Erica Scally - The Chills have consistently delivered captivating music that resonates with fans around the world.

With a rich history spanning decades and a diverse range of musicians who have contributed to their sound over the years, The Chills continue to be a force in the indie rock scene. Their music remains influential and timeless as they continue to create memorable songs that captivate audiences everywhere.

Dunedin’s finest, The Chills release their seventh studio album ‘Scatterbrain’, a glorious self-examination of Martin Phillipps’ songwriting hot (ish) on the heels of the hugely successful ‘Snowbound’ (2018) and the critically-acclaimed movie ‘The Chills: The Triumph And Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps’ a year later.

Now in 2021, Phillipps is now taking stock of things – everything. Yes, everything. The result is this triumphant new Chills’ album ‘Scatterbrain’, a thought-provoking and evocative take from a man who has lived through good times and bad.

A mature and honest reflection on life, destiny and the fate of our times delivered in beautiful melodies with Phillipps’ trademarked incisive turn of phrase.

Viewed from the perspective of a man understanding his age and indeed his own mortality, the new album takes a mature look at matters arising with a side order of perspective.

‘Scatterbrain’ is a life passing before your ears as uncertainty increases and fake news rumbles on; during which aliens invade, Phillipps scales the walls beyond abandon as he probes the minutiae of worlds within worlds and the hourglass fills.

A landmark album from one of the great modern song writers, it’s pure pop music for the new normal and we can’t wait to see how it ends…
