The Chills - Pink Frost
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2011
- "Pink Frost" was originally recorded on 29th May 1982, along with "Purple Girl" at Lab Studios in Auckland, as part of a proposed "Rainbow E.P." which would have seen all songs in their set with a color in the title be released as a 12" E.P. (the other songs to be included were "Night Of Chill Blue", "Red Sky Morning" and "Green Eyed Owl"). Whilst the band felt the results to be satisfactory, they felt they could potentially re-record a superior version, and the initial recordings were shelved. Unfortunately, drummer Martyn Bull's subsequent contraction and death from leukemia in July 1983 meant they had to make do with the original recordings, and, on subsequent re-listening to the original tapes, decided that, save for a new vocal track and guitar overdub, the original recording was suitable for release. These overdubs were completed on 5th January 1984.
Great song also very cryptic
This song literally makes me feel like walking deep into the woods while pondering about things for quite a while. The progression at the beginning still gives me a complex vibe of melancholy, grief, anxiety and calmness that kinda keep prevailing over the feeling of desperation caused by the lyrics just 'til the end of the track... Amazing one.
my friend Joy loved the Chills, though she has been gone now 27 years I still love her so.

...a real shame that this band never got the attention that it deserved.
I feel it sounds even cooler than stone roses
Kiwi all the way , K road pubs on Friday and Saturday nights 80s rocked
never grows old
Thought I was dreaming
This is amazing
Seeing them tonight in norwich, 31 years after i saw them in cambridge.
Thanks ❤
Pure Kiwi Genius..had the good fortune of interviewing Martin in the 1990's..Pink Frost is one of the greatest songs to come from over the ditch..great clip as well..
I assume you're talking about Martin Phillips, but just to make sure, because there was another band member in the group called Martin Kean
THANK YOU.X
I like that the bands around this time used a lot of exterior or domestic backdrops rather than staged/stage settings. Maybe it was a budget rather than artistic choice, but vids like Husband House or Anything Could Happen or Cactus Cat are so unashamedly of their place and time.

Shout out and two thumbs up from the USA. Great band! Longtime, all-time favorite album.
The love Incoming from the UK since i got my hands on " Submarine Bells " in 1990, then their albums before and after. A truly phenomenal band......What more can I say.....I'm frantic let me drift.....
@@brianwoods2395 I own the Submarine Bells LP printed in blue vinyl. It's been played too many times to be worth anything but who cares.
You can't go wrong with Flying Nun Records.

Bye bye bye

Any one know of similar bands not from New Zealand necessarily? Or similar sounding songs by different bands? I love this so much and would like to make a mixtape x
Natalie Rodriguez The Shocking Pinks, as a suggestion see if your local library has THE ALL MUSIC GUIDE TO ROCK N ROLL. They have a section on New Zealand bands in it.
Hi Natalie I know this was five years ago but this was part of a genre called "The Dunedin Sound." In addition to The Chills, The Bats, The Verlaines, and The Clean are groups that had a lot of great songs in this genre. Check out "Block of Wood" by the Bats and "Anything Could Happen" by The Clean. My friend also made a really good mix of New Zealand bands of this genre and I'd be happy to mail you a copy of it on cd if you message me. One American band recently that made a record like this was from Oakland and they're called Legs. Another more recent group is Veronica Falls.
Joy Division?
There’s a Guatemalan film called ‘Gasoline’ that deals with the same regret.
It might be from El Salvador, but is Central American for sure. Thoughtful film.
❤❤❤❤
Post-Punk?
I love this song. The scarecrow kinda kills the vibe though, doesn't it?
Yeh thought the same.
nope
Not sure why you get that vibe as disruptive…The Scarecrow is also creepy..he’s so scared, but then the scarecrow is meant to defend crops and be..what but scary in a protective way? A little irony or paradox there that he is not. This is great art, to me anyway. In mid 90’s this song re-emerged in the US, and met the rounds of alt. DJ’s.. That’s when I heard it and appreciated it so much. Really, in a time of songs about love or alluding to rebellion, etc. this was so unique..he embodied a social issue, not being a killer himself. What courage, complexity, and genius! Thanks chills for the creepy awareness!
"SINER THE HYPER TYPER❤BLISS"... Rock's still in a punk out way...💯🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🐕....2023 0:11
