For no other \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlying Nun\u003c\/strong\u003e associate had such gumption to reach out overseas, nor was beset by both simple and turbulent twists of fate.

The Chills were exemplars of the so-called Dunedin Sound – an often moist and melancholy, simultaneously dark and breezy amalgam of Western garage-pop roots but invested with an otherworldly aura, as if those overseas influences had indeed seeped in upside down. But only Phillipps was this quixotic, bridging folk and bubblegum, Bowie and Syd Barrett, with feverish shivers and childlike whimsy. (No one else would have dared wear pixie boots with no irony, only joy.). If music has a psycho-geographical bent, then it’s the air, waves and light of the Otago peninsular, and the spaciousness and remoteness of NZ itself, that glows and thrums through his songs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2022-02-10T11:02:29+11:00","alt":null,"width":874,"height":877,"src":"\/\/flyingnunaustralia.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/The_Chills_Flying_Nun.jpg?v=1644451350"}},{"id":400792649966,"handle":"vinyl","updated_at":"2024-03-11T17:10:14+11:00","published_at":"2022-02-21T19:43:05+11:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Vinyl","body_html":""}]
