The Chills - Sunburnt RSD 2026

Celebrate Record Store Day 2026 with this exclusive reissue of Sunburnt, the cult classic album from New Zealand indie legends The Chills, now available on vinyl for the first time in over 30 years. Originally recorded in 1995 and released in 1996 under frontman Martin Phillipps’s name during a turbulent chapter for the band, Sunburnt captures a uniquely introspective and melodic moment in The Chills’ storied history.

Pressed as a strictly limited edition orange coloured 12″ vinyl LP, this RSD 2026 release from Fire Records features revitalised artwork and all 13 tracks from the original record, including fan favourites like “Come Home” and the wistful title track “Sunburnt.”

With only 1,000 copies pressed, this release is a must‑own for collectors and fans of jangly indie rock. Its warm, vibrant vinyl presentation adds a striking visual edge to a record that’s long been cherished for its emotional depth and timeless songwriting.
