“It never got the fair chance it needed the first time.
To see these available again, it fills a real hole, especially with Soft Bomb ,” Phillipps says. “I’m a completist by nature, so I like to see things done orderly. With both albums getting a remastered release this year, Phillipps reconsiders the band’s past while pushing into the future. Two years later, the group released Soft Bomb, maintaining a pop footing while expanding its sound. Even while he looks forward professionally and personally, he makes space to look back, through archival and musical work.Ĭurrently, he can celebrate thirty years since the release of Submarine Bells, its mix of post-punk sensibility and jangle-pop sound enabling it to be one of the defining works of the New Zealand’s Dunedin sound even as the band moved to a major label. After years of fluctuation, his band The Chills have an unexpected stability and forward momentum. Phillipps faced an extreme health crisis before finding surprising relief and renewed possibilities in life.
Martin Phillipps is an efficient manager of the in-between.
