No original new music by The Chills in 2017, but the New Zealand band did release a wonderful tribute to the recently deceased David Bowie. In 1970, Bowie obscurely released “Conversation Piece” as the b-side of “The Prettiest Star.” He re-recorded the song in 2001 for his unreleased 2001 album, Toy, which later found release on the limited edition bonus disc of Heathen. A few months after his death, The Chills breathed new life into the song as only Martin Phillips and The Chills could; earning it a spot on my Best of 2017 list, and the Happy Medium Song of the Day.
