#1906 The Chills - Kaleidoscope World

Kaleidoscope's about right the right word for it: effortless flickers of scathing punk, chiming guitars, shimmering jangle - right at the forefront of the underground sound. Every song's its own invention, especially impressive circa 1986.

It's a bit slow, a bit sleepy, but impressive, with that unnamable New Zealand [something] that I've always rather liked (did they have different recording equipment down that way or something? the mystery of that subtle New Zealand patina haunts me) 3.5/5
