Well, here’s some fantastic news for New Zealand indie music fans. Dunedin legends The Chills<\/a><\/strong> are back after almost two decades<\/em> with a new album. Silver Bullets<\/a><\/strong>, their first full-length studio release since 1996’s Sunburnt, is due out on October 30 on Fire Records<\/a><\/strong>. Yes, those Kiwis certainly take their time, but judging from the first two singles released to bloggers, “America Says Hello” and “Warm Waveform,” it has been worth the wait. In “America,” the dark and layered melodic magic and classic Chills sound is still there, with some nicely acerbic social commentary that takes direct aim at misguided U.S. policies and social breakdown, and the world’s quick forgiveness of past transgressions.<\/p>\n
