From eerie folk lullabies to bouncy b-sides: Ten of the Chills’ best songs

New Zealand band the Chills is releasing a new album, Scatterbrain. To celebrate, we count down 10 of their top songs

A singular band, the Chills are difficult to stylistically define because their diverse sound traverses lush psychedelia, whimsy and gloom, punk rock and bright jangly pop. Known for their revolving door policy on band members, perhaps rivalled only by the Fall (there have been at least 33 members of the Chills over their 41-year career), the one constant is Martin Phillipps. And they're back with Scatterbrain, their first album since 2018.
