Headless Chickens have just announced that their 1988 classique Stunt Clown is getting its first vinyl pressing in 33 years!

Chosen as the Independent Music NZ Classic Record at the 2018 Taite Music Awards, Stunt Clown is notable for being so ahead of its time; drum machines and samplers, psychedelic surf, and noise all came together in one beautiful collision, and the rest was history.

Stunt Clown was the first body of work that truly showed the world what Headless Chickens were capable of, both sonically, and with their songwriting. Originally released in 1988, Stunt Clown was the band’s first full length release.

A deviation from the ‘Dunedin Sound’ that dominated the 1980’s wave of Flying Nun, Headless Chickens were a band that dipped into the realm of drum machines and samplers. Coupled with a heavy measure of the macabre and bizarre, surf, psychedelia and noise, the resulting masterpiece was Stunt Clown.

With a fresh new take on the album artwork, this 2021 reissue will be pressed to both opaque red and standard black vinyl.
