Got a treat for you this weekend, and it isn't even Chanukah - a live KCRW session with none other than New Zealand's Chills, or more specifically the late Martin Phillipps then-current iteration of the band. Touring in support of the Sunburnt LP (their first since '92s Soft Bomb) we're naturally treated to songs from the album and surrounding singles, plus perhaps more revealingly a very early Chill's nugget, "Smile From a Dead Face," that up to that point had never surfaced on a Chills record (it eventually saw the light of day on the 2016 reissue of Kaleidoscope World).
There's also previews of two songs ("February" and "Bad Dancer") that would appear on 2004's under-the-radar ep release, Stand By. If you're looking for classics, the pickings are mighty slim here ("Pink Frost" predictably lands on the setlist), yet if you know much about Phillipps the man was never a reliable human-jukebox. Interviews are continuously interspersed with the music, which may require you to adjust the volume here and there, but well worth your effort. Full tracklist is below, and I'm also making this available in FLAC if that's your preference. Enjoy.
