Kishi Bashi has announced the 10th anniversary reissue of his beloved 2016 album Sonderlust, due out February 27th, 2026 via Joyful Noise Recordings. The Sonderlust (10th Anniversary Edition) celebrates a decade of one of his most personal and transformative works and is now available for pre-order.
To mark the announcement, Kishi Bashi has shared “Harpsi Chords,” a previously unreleased B-side from the era. The track highlights the emotional balance that defines Sonderlust, blending melancholy, reflection, and hope. “I was always excited about this song,” says Kaoru Dill-Ishibashi. “But it didn’t quite match the tone of Sonderlust, so it was a difficult decision to leave it off.”
The reissue features refreshed artwork by original cover artist Ssin Kim, offering a more optimistic perspective shaped by time and post-COVID reflection. Dill-Ishibashi notes that the new art mirrors both artists’ personal growth and a newfound sense of clarity and hope.
In celebration, Kishi Bashi will embark on a 2026 headlining tour performing Sonderlust in full, including festival appearances at Treefort Music Fest and Big Ears, plus stops nationwide such as Chicago’s Thalia Hall and New York’s Irving Plaza.
A decade on, Sonderlust remains a defining moment of vulnerability, connection, and catharsis in Kishi Bashi’s catalog.
