Martin Phillipps wrote pop songs the way other people write diary entries, and Submarine Bells is where the Dunedin sound got its widest, brightest recording. Released in 1990 as the Chills' first for an American label, it opens with 'Heavenly Pop Hit' and never quite comes back down: chiming guitars, minor-key turns and melodies that feel like they have always existed. Cut from the original analog master by Matthew Lutthans for Rhino Reserve. Street date: October 30.
