Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Pearl Vinyl 2LP

Sunny Day Real Estate's landmark album Diary

Sunny Day Real Estate and Sub Pop are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band's landmark album Diary with a new pearlescent vinyl edition of the remastered double LP and its release coincides with the band's 2024 U.S. tour commemorating the anniversary of the album.

Originally formed in Seattle in 1992, Sunny Day Real Estate featured Nate Mendel (bass), William Goldsmith (drums), Dan Hoerner (guitar, vocals) and Jeremy Enigk (vocals, guitar). Diary, the band's first full-length album, was released in 1994 on Sub Pop, going on to become the seventh-best-selling record in the label's history, with more than 231,000 copies scanned in the US alone. Diary was recorded at Chicago's Idful Studios with producer Brad Wood and released to critical acclaim.

Pitchfork, in its "50 Best Indie Rock Albums of Pacific Northwest," said of Diary, "The title would later be ridiculed as a symbol of emo's inward focus, but Sunny Day Real Estate's Diary, their 1994 debut on Sub Pop, can be read in various ways: in the form of punk rock evolving away from its original designs into more dynamic and insecure space, or as a display of spiraling interplay between four talented musicians from Seattle."
