Hard to find LP by legendary New Zealand band fronted by Martin Phillipps. Nice vinyl, excellent cover. Very nice clean vinyl with a cover showing minor creasing. Includes inner lyric sleeve.
Submarine Bells is an album by New Zealand group The Chills, released in 1990. This was the band's first album on a major label, as Martin Phillips signed to Warner Bros. Records subsidiary Slash Records, to release the album in the USA. The album reached #1 on the New Zealand album charts and had significant support from American college radio. The album was awarded gold status in New Zealand and represents the peak of The Chills' popularity at home.
The album is often acclaimed as The Chills' most diverse piece of work, with the aptly named "Heavenly Pop Hit," the surreal "I SOAR" and the combative, harder sound of "Familiarity Breeds Contempt". It is considered to be one of the defining albums of the Dunedin Sound.
The supporting tour for Submarine Bells culminated in a triumphant home-coming concert in Dunedin Town Hall.
