In 1990, The Chills were at the peak of their popularity and creative output. The band had been active since the early 1980s and had already released two critically acclaimed albums, “Kaleidoscope World” and “Brave Words.”With the release of their third album, “Submarine Bells,” in early 1990, The Chills achieved even greater success and international recognition. The album was a commercial and critical success in New Zealand and overseas, with its dreamy, atmospheric sound and poetic lyrics earning praise from music critics and fans alike.
For the T-shirt of this famous album of The Chills we have been inspired by a promotional T-shirt of The Chills in 1990, altering the position of some of its elements and integrating the dates of their concerts in New Zealand. Of course, we have used graphic elements and typographies exact to their 1990 album Submarine Bells.
