There are few more affecting songs about a piece of clothing than The Chills' “I Love My Leather Jacket”. In the hands of songwriter Martin Phillipps, the insistent tune and chugging guitar and organ commemorate a deceased friend through a gift left in his will. This New Zealand outfit—which had been through 20 line-ups around Phillipps—was adept at evoking melancholic grandeur and intense emotion through fuzzy indie-pop. The title of “Heavenly Pop Hit” from 1990 seemed like a case of typical irony until you're swept up by the psych-pop feel and buoyant melody.
