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. It was recorded in a number of studios in New Zealand over a space of three weeks.
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." Elsewhere, he described the album as, "hopefully a kind of Carole King Tapestry for aging punks".
