Chappaquiddick Skyline

In the waning months of the previous millennia, Joe Pernice wrote and recorded what would become Chappaquiddick Skyline. Now, 25 years after its original issue, New West Records is proud to release a limited edition pressing on vinyl for the very first time. The 25th Anniversary pressing will be available on clear and standard black vinyl in an edition of 1000 copies each.

Chappaquiddick Skyline was released following the Pernice Brothers' critically acclaimed Sub Pop debut Overcome by Happiness. Recorded at home on 8-Track with Thom Monahan producing, Joe Pernice and Monahan are joined by Pernice Brothers bandmates Peyton Pinkerton, Laura Stein, Mike Belitsky, as well as countless friends who stopped by to help out.

In explanation of the record and of the Chappaquiddick moniker in 1999, Joe Pernice originally said, "Not every kid makes the team. They’re almost always good kids. Maybe a little overweight, maybe they think with the other side of their brains, who knows? The songs on Chappaquiddick Skyline are all that kid.”
