Amazingly, this is the Chills' first extended release, and by this time (1985), the Martin Phillips-led outfit had already been through seven different lineups in their four-year existence. Following the death of the band's drummer and Phillips' close friend, Martyn Bull, the leader had wanted to rename the latest version of his band A Wrinkle in Time, but he changed his mind and headed into the studio to cut this record. It turned out to be one of the band's best. Every song rings with Phillips' deeply ingrained love of '60s garage pop and impeccable knack for revealing a gleaming, memorable hook to pair with even his most introspective lyrical journeys. Thus, the listener can revel in the swirling "This Is the Way" and "Bee Bah Bee Bah Bee Boe," or the Nuggets-worthy "Never Never Go" and "Don't Even Know Her Name." The second side gets darker, with the ominous guitar riff of "Whole Weird World" and the epic (for the Chills, anyway) five-minute "Dream by Dream" with its memorable "Good-night Chills!" signoff. Taken in slices or as a whole, The Lost EP is an essential part of the Chills' canon. All six tracks are available on the Homestead issue of the essential singles collection Kaleidoscope World. ~ Patrick Foster, Rovi
