About this album
Brave Words is a standout New Zealand indie rock album that broadened The Chills’ reputation beyond cult status. Released in 1987, it captures Martin Phillipps and the band refining their blend of jangly guitars, psychedelic colour and melodic bite into songs that feel both immediate and carefully crafted. The album’s mix of hook-driven writing and restless atmosphere helped define the Flying Nun sound for international listeners, linking Dunedin’s underground energy with wider alternative rock and jangle pop movements. It remains one of the group’s most important releases and a strong example of their knack for turning bright melodies into something deeper and more lasting.
