Snow Bound is an album by New Zealand group The Chills, released in 2018. Their second album after a 19-year gap between studio recordings, it reached number 9 in the New Zealand charts.[4] It was recorded in a number of studios in New Zealand over a space of three weeks.[5]
Songwriter Martin Phillipps said, "I was initially was surprised when people said, 'What an upbeat kind of record'. And I thought, 'Wait until you read the lyrics'. There is that contrast between that upbeat sound and dealing with something more personal, going back to that "Leather Jacket" approach."[6] Elsewhere, he described the album as, "hopefully a kind of Carole King Tapestry for aging punks".[7]
