Thus far, Sunny Day Real Estate are skipping Canada on their 30th anniversary tour behind landmark debut album Diary — but there's still something for the rest of us: the band are bringing the album back into print.

Available April 26 in pearlescent vinyl via Sub Pop Records, Diary (Remastered and Expanded Edition) contains two previously unheard bonus tracks, "8" and "9," and newly written liner notes. 

The 1994 album was recorded at Chicago's Idful Studios with producer Brad Wood, and went on to become the seventh-best-selling record in the history of the label. Check out the newly expanded reissue tracklist below.

Diary (Remastered and Expanded Edition):

1. Seven
2. In Circles
3. Song About an Angel
4. Round
5. 47
6. The Blankets Were the Stairs
7. Pheurton Skeurto
8. Shadows
9. 48
10. Grendel
11. Sometimes
12. 8 (Bonus Track)
13. 9 (Bonus Track)

Pre-order Diary (Remastered and Expanded Edition).

After reuniting in 2022 for their first tour in 12 years, the band appeared to start teasing something — perhaps their first new LP since 2000's The Rising Tide, but maybe just the Diary 30th anniversary stuff? — in January.
