Soft Bomb is an album by New Zealand group The Chills, released in 1992.[1][2][3] It was the follow-up to Submarine Bells, which had hit number 1 in New Zealand in 1990.

Released to good reviews, Soft Bomb was followed by a world tour with an enlarged Chills line-up. In the midst of their US tour, financial backing and promotion was withdrawn for the album and tour. This line-up of the band disintegrated and Martin Phillipps would take some time to rebuild the band. Phillipps parted company with Slash Records after this album and tour.
