Scatterbrain

The Chills release their seventh studio album Scatterbrain, a glorious self-examination of Martin Phillipps' songwriting hot (ish) on the heels of the hugely successful Snowbound (2018) and the critically-acclaimed movie The Chills: The Triumph And Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps a year later. Now in 2021, Phillipps is taking stock of things - everything. Yes, everything. The result is this triumphant new Chills' album Scatterbrain, a thought-provoking and evocative take from a man who has lived through good times and bad. A mature and honest reflection on life, destiny and the fate of our times delivered in beautiful melodies with Phillipps' trademarked incisive turn of phrase. A landmark album from one of the great modern song writers, it's pure pop music for the new normal and we can't wait to see how it ends.
