The Chills: The Lost EP [Homestead EP, 1988]
Recorded '84-'85, two years before Brave Worls, and it sounds it. First side you wonder why the songs aren't quite there--maybe it's you. Second side crumbles the quandry with "Whole Weird World" ("Nearly there . . . nearly," they claim) and the four-part (suite?) "Dream by Dream." Neither title is sufficiently ironic. Not juvenilia--they'd already been around four or five years. But only New Zealanders would guess.
