Dunedins finest, The Chills release their seventh studio album Scatterbrain, a glorious self-examination of Martin Phillipps songwriting hot (ish) on the heels of the hugely successful Snowbound (2018) and the critically-acclaimed movie The Chills: The Triumph And Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps a year later.

Its about artistic integrity, self-realisation, self-acceptance and a reflection on mortality. The Guardian

Now in 2021, Phillipps is now taking stock of things everything. Yes, everything. The result is this triumphant new Chills album Scatterbrain, a thought-provoking and evocative take from a man who has lived through good times and bad.

A mature and honest reflection on life, destiny and the fate of our times delivered in beautiful melodies with Phillipps trademarked incisive turn of phrase.
Viewed from the perspective of a man understanding his age and indeed his own mortality, the new album takes a mature look at matters arising with a side order of perspective.

Scatterbrain is a life passing before your ears as uncertainty increases and fake news rumbles on; during which aliens invade, Phillipps scales the walls beyond abandon as he probes the minutiae of worlds within worlds and the hourglass fills.
A landmark album from one of the great modern song writers, its pure pop music for the new normal and we cant wait to see how it ends

This is what a living legend looks and sounds like. Rolling Stone
