Scatterbrain is the new studio album from the Dunedin (NZ) songsmiths The Chills helmed by the enigmatic Martin Phillipps with artwork by Trees' David Costa. The project's seventh studio album overall is a glorious self-examination of Phillipps' songwriting hot 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.

Scatterbrain is 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. Viewed from the perspective of a man understanding his age and indeed his own mortality, the new album takes a mature look at matters arising with a side order of perspective. Scatterbrain is a life passing before your ears as uncertainty increases and fake news rumbles on; during which aliens invade, Phillipps scales the walls beyond abandon as he probes the minutiae of worlds within worlds and the hourglass fills.

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...
