Sunburst is the second EP by English shoegazing band Chapterhouse. It features in the reissue of Chapterhouse's debut album Whirlpool, released in 2006. Sunburst contains a track produced by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins, as well as a cover version of The Beatles' song "Rain".[1]

Reception

Allmusic writer Ned Raggett praised Guthrie's production on "Something More", and said while the Whirlpool version of the song "is equally good, it's a pity that this one was fairly obscure in comparison". Raggett also described the verse and chorus section of "Satin Safe" as "great modern guitar psych", and that Chapterhouse's version of "Rain", while not on par with the Beatles original, is "still a fun runthrough."
