The Chills - Pink Frost
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- "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.
RIP Martin Phillips a beautiful genius
I agree. RIP Martin. Saw this band only once mid 80s Melbourne. $&_54*"#@ BRILLIANT.
RIP Martin Phillipps (July 2, 1963 - July 28, 2024), aged 61
You will be remembered as a legend.
Wait... he died? Sorry to hear.
Vale Martin Phillips. He leaves us so many brilliant songs and this is right up there. What a musician.
Just saw the telecast of his funeral and what a fitting tribute to a great artist.
RIP Martin. You will be missed 🌟
So sad to hear the news just now 😢
This might be one of the best songs ever written. It occupies a space and feeling like no other. The way everything sounds is so perfect too. It’s really distant but up close and personal.
So true. I remember listening to this abut 10 years ago and suddenly realising ... this is one of best songs ever written. It's kind of perfect
Rest in peace Martin Philips fly free your music always with us forever our heart ❤️
From Dunedin
The earnest nerd of NZ music. I remember seeing them at the Windsor Castle on Parnell Rd in the mid eighties - the front corner bar where you'd be hard pressed to fit in 100 punters. Very intimate. He was wearing fairy boots with spiral toes that had little bells on the tip of the spirals. A member of the audience said, conversationally, nice shoes Martin. He said thank you.
Love it!
This tune is a mood. Lovely. Good memories. RIP Martin.
...a real shame that this band never got the attention that it deserved.
I feel it sounds even cooler than stone roses
Got yours! Got mine!!!
Murdering the lead singer's girlfriend may have been a career killer.
The Pixies stole their sound.
😮 can you elaborate please @@colinwilson4609
Most people (outside NZ) don't know anything about Martin Phillips. Those who do are grateful for his legacy. RIP
Walking up to the 🍍 skyline while at varsity in Dunedin.With this on a C60 tape istening on my walkmen.
R.I.P Martin Phillips.A musical genius.
Gone but never forgotten.
my friend Joy loved the Chills, though she has been gone now 27 years I still love her so.
🌹🇦🇺
💏
This is the loveliest thing I’ve seen today.
Thanks to the Chills for some great memories... I remember seeing them in the Empire Tavern in Dunedin in 1984, they were a wonderful live band. Martin Phillips was a genius songwriter.
I was there that night too Richard… just a small audience we were, but a fab first night with the Chills, many to follow at the Cook, the Ori, the Windsor castle, Dingwalls and Dive
Thank you for shaping my musical knowledge! Dunedin has lost a hero tonight!
I'm utterly distraught by the sad passing of Martin Phillips. 36 years of listening pleasure for me, and not a single second wasted. I'm not surprised I was utterly starstruck when I met him on 2 occasions. R.I.P. Martin, your musical talent was just immeasurable!
I get the starstruck thing, he had the same effect on me. Such an immense talent few will get to hear.
RIP Martin, you won't know how much you will be missed or how much you meant to so many of us. Thank you for all the great music.
I want to stop my crying, RIP, thank you for these haunting melodies. Forever missed.
RIP Martin. Genuinely heartbroken 💔 favourite band of ALL time
RIP Martin - a true NZ legend
Rest in peace, dear Martin Phillips. Eternal sound, lyrics and music. Thank you for your spirit and soul.
Thank you Martin 💟 Rest in love and light
RIP

RIP Martin Phillipps. Seen in the 80's several times and luckly last year in Amsterdam. Thanks for the music. the music will always be in our hearts.
Martin, So sad you've gone, but your music lives on.
R.I.P. Martin Phillipps, Thankyou for the good music. Much Love from Dunedin, Fly High
Rest In Power Martin, this is one of the great songs.
RIP Martin 💔 thank you for the songs , forever in our hearts
R.I.P Martin, ...I still love my leather jacket
Rip legend ❤
Masterpiece. RIP Martin x
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.
Forever a legend Martin. Vale.
RIP Martin Phillips.. Such sad news.. 🙏
Rest in peace, Martin!
Sad day, but we have all these gems to remember him by
Martin, I've loved you guys since the beginning! Cool to see others in the same state of mind. This song was my intro to your world. RIP
Kiwi all the way , K road pubs on Friday and Saturday nights 80s rocked
RIP Martin Phillips ...saddened to hear of his passing.
Sad day. RIP
Rest in peace Martin. A true new Zealand maverick.
RIP, Martin.
Brilliant song. When I think of the eighties and NZ music this is the first song that comes to mind. I’m sorry I never saw the Chills live, RIP Martin.
Rip Martin ❤
never grows old
RIP Martin. thank you for everything
always felt or thought this one had a big influence on slowdive
probably my overall favorite track
sounds more moody and sparse
i think they might have even covered it to be honest i forget
as usual he's about a decade ahead of his time in some sense, this being from 1982 "alternative" didn't even exist yet
most people were doing new wave around this time not so much traditional power pop, or even as the term was later used "shoegaze"
there were others operating around the same time with a similar sound Dif Juz and Felt that i also liked, but these groups were not part of the popular music scene per say in terms of the media machine, they were very much operating in a kind of underground scene
of course the moody sound has it's roots in joy division as well
i forgot to add, was similar to REM as well, recorded by Chris Knox, definitely gothic as well.
RIP Martin Phillips 🙏
Seeing them tonight in norwich, 31 years after i saw them in cambridge.
Great song also very cryptic
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
RIP Martin - thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
Grew up listening to these sounds. Rest well Mr.
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.
RIP Martin Phillips! Such an awesome song!
Been listening since 2016, which is relatively recent but a long time for me. RIP.
Rest in peace ❤️
RIP Martin Philips, glad to have seen you and your band live
This is amazing
That bit at 0.23, the bass and guitar...that bit is genius. I mean, apart from the opening to Sweet Jane I know of no other rock song intro that takes you so close to heaven. RIP.
I've been to all these places in this video - i think this was filmed abt 1987... RIP Martin Phillips of The Chills - great interviewing you about your leather jacket for my blog in 2012.... 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the music.❤❤

A more polished Joy division. High praise
Kiwis where are you ?
Show the love !
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.
😢very sad...I'm doing my best to pass this music on to the next generation
You can't go wrong with Flying Nun Records.
ANZAC Joy Division.

Guitar rff he ripped from cleans point that thing grew up with martins music awesome artist musician will be missed
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.
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?
🌹🇦🇺
"SINER THE HYPER TYPER❤BLISS"... Rock's still in a punk out way...💯🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🐕....2023 0:11
ya vi lo que hiciste aca, MGMT
❤❤❤❤
Post-Punk?
#groupergotmehere
As a pro record producer I’ve got to say that whoever mixed this directly contributed to this excellent band not breaking through… this mix is awful. A few hours in the right hands and this would have blown up.
no it wouldn't have
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!
I blame the Cure
