The late, great Martin Phillipps circa 1996.

Following the self-combustion of the original Chills in the States, a set of gloriously introspective songs recorded in the UK with Fairport’s Dave Mattacks and XTC’s Dave Gregory when the new line-up were turned away at Heathrow.

A Phillipps solo album by default, that led to a hiatus before The Chills’ glorious return in 2013.

Back on vinyl for the first time in 30 years with revitalised artwork and pressed on yellow wax.
