Brave Words/Expanded and Remastered/Gatefold Pearl Vinyl

Description

Remixed and remastered under the supervision of Martin Phillipps, this expanded edition of The Chills' debut album is being reissued for the first time in over 35 years. The newly mixed edition includes rarities and unreleased tracks from The Chills' archives, along with all-new artwork reimagined by Martin Phillipps and a host of additional sleeve notes. Originally produced by Mayo Thompson (Pere Ubu/Red Krayola) and featuring the standout tracks "Wet Blanket" and "Night Of Chills Blue," this 18-track extended edition includes beloved tracks from the era such as "House With A Hundred Rooms" and the impressive "Party In My Heart." Part of the extraordinarily vibrant and innovative 80s New Zealand independent music scene, The Chills became standard-bearers, taking the Dunedin Sound, as championed by the Flying Nun label, around the world. Long recognized as one of New Zealand's most influential bands, Brave Words is a brilliant example of their unique sound and has been hailed as a masterpiece by critics and fans alike.
