“It’s about artistic integrity, self-realisation, self- acceptance and a reflection on mortality” - The Guardian
The Chills are a New Zealand rock band that formed in Dunedin in 1980. The band is essentially the continuing project of singer/songwriter Martin Phillipps, who is the group's sole constant member. Back in Europe for the first time in over six years, The Chills announce an extensive summer tour that includes festival appearances at Primavera Sound.
Following the release of landmark albums ‘Scatterbrain’ (2021 ) and ‘Snow Bound’ (2018 ), the Dunedin songsmiths helmed by the enigmatic Martin Phillipps will be performing music from these albums for the first time since their release.
“This is what a living legend looks and sounds like” - Rolling Stone
A mature and honest reflection on life, destiny and the fate of our times delivered in beautiful melodies from one of today’s great modern songwriters. Phillipps’ trademarked incisive turn of phrase, is pure pop music viewed from the perspective of a man understanding his own mortality.
