The Chills - Sunburnt (RSD 2026)

New Vinyl

1000 copies on Orange vinyl. The late, great Martin Phillipps circa 1996. Following the self-combustion of the original Chills in the States, a set of gloriously introspective songs recorded in the UK with Fairport’s Dave Mattacks and XTC’s Dave Gregory when the new line-up were turned away at Heathrow. A Phillipps solo album by default, that led to a hiatus before The Chills’ glorious return in 2013. Back on vinyl for the first time in 30 years with revitalised artwork and pressed on colour wax. “The Chills’ Martin Phillipps leaves a legacy of melancholy brilliance.” The Guardian.
