Kaleidoscope World

Released

Originally released as a compilation in 1986 of the Chills’ earliest singles as well as their selections from the key Dunedin Double EP release, it was the 1989 US expanded edition of Kaleidoscope World which captured what made the reflective, passionate songs and lyrics of Martin Phillipps so widely beloved in New Zealand and elsewhere. The stark beauty of the mournful “Pink Frost” is balanced in turn by the blazing, anthemic memorial of “I Love My Leather Jacket,” while the easy ramble of the title song is a lovely singalong high point.
