The Chills Pink Frost

[streethassled]

They opened Lou Reed with this song, back in 85 at the Load of crap Center.

This song is so freaking good, The stuff coming out of Nwz at this time is so underrated, but listening to JPS, the CHills, the CLean.....no one has that sound . Its so distinct, this imo challeges alot of the big recording coming out of britain during the post punk/new wave era. Its right up there with the big boys.

[vogelpoop]

Just realized today's Lower Dens sounds a lot like the instrumentals of the Chills.

[AUserN4me]

i heard this song in The Girl in the Park when kate bosworth's character and sigourney weaver's character are in the car

[snarlbeast]

it's such a shame that in this generation we feel the need to gauge a band's appeal by assessing their music in terms its credentials as a fucking ringtone.

[scooter1138]

In my opinion this is the best Kiwi song ever. Just above Nature by Fourmyula. I was born 1970 by the way.

[Deligne]

Dear people reading this;

One of my best friends absolutely adores this song ( consequently so do I), he has it a greatest hits album of the record company The Chills were signed to. His birthday is coming up and I really want to give him a The Chills album as a gift. However in the Netherlands ( were I'm from) it is absolutely impossible to get a hold of the album Kaleidoscope World. Can anyone help a Dutch bruvva out?Perhaps I can get it shipped over or something,pls let me know

[cdjimmyjazz]

@Deligne guessing the moment may have passed but happy to post a CDR if you give me an address :-)

[bloodanddreams5540]

@Deligne

The online shop of New Zealand CDs.com will send a copy anywhere you want, thats how I got mine after losing all the vinyl copies from years ago.

[MrBesvikenson]

[mamelucobaby]

[aeonwhetu]

martin phllipps isn't dead, they just played their 30th anniversary show in dunners

[GlassHopperYouth]

@aeonwhetu He was talking about Martyn Bull, the band's former drummer.

[thegoldenyearsx]

Rest In Peace, Martyn xo

[XEpikurX]

One of the best Pop songs ever!!!

[TahmohPenikett]

If anyone has the video of this on their hard drive, could they please upload it? Not that it matters but, for posterities sake, it would be worth being able to view it.

Such a beautiful, evocative piece of music.

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

So incredibly soothing and beautiful, this song gives me Chills!

[sailorstellar]

this song puts me in a place between love and incredible sadness

[stalaktiful]

It's so beautiful !!!

[TheStuntbaby]

I was 23,, I never looked at music the same way again.Now my kids have to listern to it. Im sure they like it too.

[softwareofexcellence]

Listen to the Drums.

The drummer collapsed shortly after recording the drum piece. He was diagnosed with leukaemia and died a few days later. One of the reasons why this track is so mesmorising.

[akira543]

Yes! This is the song with the badass bassline.. I hope someone can upload the video, it had something of an ethereal charm to it too.

[CupcakeExplosion]

i heard this song some years back and it stopped me dead in my tracks. hypnotizing, yes, the song left me simply stunned. heart wrenching and beautiful.

thanks for posting.

[mobyboy]

good memos

[annyid8]

way before the stone roses

good times...

[moonlily1]

the opening notes of this song are my favorite ever, I wish it was my ringtone, I wish my alarm clock chimed them in the morning, I wish my microwave played them when my noodle bowls are done cooking.

[suzenz]

haha that's gold!

[nick40nick40]

@moonlily1 WMG police!! Great to still be on!

[bloodanddreams5540]

@moonlily1 Yes Yes! But I can't find any company that agrees with us, also the opening lyrics of Death and the Maiden (Verlaines) another great ringtone gone begging.

[moonlily1]

@bloodanddreams5540 It isn't a very well-known song; the companies don't consider it worth their money to offer it.

[MLIN20]

@moonlily1

Hey, I have it as my ringtone. If you can upload music to your phone from your computer, you can then choose it as your ringtone. Go ahead and do it. You are on a different continent to me, so no danger of us getting confused. It must be the best intro ever.

[TheSodiumhaze]

Many thanx! I thought I was the only one who liked them! Great taste all round!

[Justiine63]

Great song ! I'm french and in France it's difficult to find new zealand's music ! New Zealand ♥♥♥

[Imkittie]

I just discovered this song off AOL radio! Surprised.. love it, thanks!

[jerandra1]

One of the best New Zealand bands ever

[trogedon]

@jerandra1 From my old home city of Dunedin. I really wished I'd seen them (and all the other cool Dunedin sound bands) when I was still there in the 80s ;-(

[44spotty]

absolutely outstanding song - but doesn't have the video? that is equally haunting

[4356745]

@44spotty yes ,theres a video but the tube took it down after 15 minutes.... and this version also is available only in some countries as i was told by a message of them...go figure.. the song is hypnotising..

[44spotty]

thats a shame

[makeacircuit]

@44spotty

its still up on google videos if anyones interested.

glad you mentioned there was a video in existence, i just watched it and its completely fitting video to such an emotive song.

[SpaceOdyssee]

Great song my friend ! :)

I didn't know this band. Thanks.
