Post Orgasmic Chill is the third studio album by British rock band Skunk Anansie, first released in 1999. Two album covers exist: the European version with the band lounging in an oceanside apartment, and the American version with the band standing on the Atlantic City boardwalk [citation needed]. It was a complete departure from their previous two albums,[3] which had elements of punk rock and alternative rock, towards a new harder sound with elements of hard rock and alternative metal. It took eleven years for the group to release their next album, Wonderlustre.

Two-disc 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition was released in 2024.

Etymology

The album title resembles the title of the 13th song, a Japanese bonus track called "Post Orgasmic Sleep".

Legacy

The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[5]
