The Chills – “Oncoming Day (Early Version)”
Dunedin Sound proponents the Chills’ 1986 compilation album, Kaleidoscope World, is getting reissued. The comp, which was the New Zealand band’s first official release, was initially made up of 8 early singles — it was re-released the following year in 1987, and the track list ballooned to 18. Now, it’s getting an additional six tracks in the form of b-sides and demos, including an early version of “Oncoming Day,” a song that would eventually be included on their 1990 album Submarine Bells. Listen to that below.
