The Lost Ep

1000 copies worldwide. 'The Lost EP' is back on vinyl for the first time in almost four decades, a cornerstone of New Zealand's 'Dunedin Sound' of the 1980s. Faithfully restored with original artwork and insert, the EP is pressed on yellow vinyl and features six tracks of sublime pop from the pen of The Chills' mainstay Martin Phillipps. 'The songwriter that helped kick off indie rock as we know it.' NPR. Originally released in 1985, after the master tapes had been mislaid for 12 months, 'The 'Lost' EP' is the perfect mix of Phillipps' pop sensibilities and his often-dark lyrics. Doffing a cap to dream pop, garage punk, psychedelic whimsey and old school indie along the way, it's a band truly finding themselves. 'Even at his most cynical, the tone of Phillipps' voice and the major-chord bounce of the music makes him sound in love with the world.' The Guardian.
