One of a handful of game-changing indie pop bands from the small New Zealand town of Dunedin, the Chills made some of the most lasting independent rock of their day, their work in the '80s paving the way for the '90s alternative rock movement and generations of indie music that followed. The band was a vital contributor to the scene of underground sounds that British disc jockey John Peel made his life's ambition of taking to the masses, and The BBC Sessions collects songs from three studio visits the Chills made to the BBC to record Peel sessions between 1985 and 1988.
