about

Heavily toasted herbal psychedelia and ambient analogue folk, recorded by Bobby Lee, 2015-2016.

“Ancient Sunlight is the name I used between 2015-2016. Predominantly a solo home recording project, I also played a handful of shows under the name, including support slots with Sun Araw, Weyes Blood and Wolf People, where Luke Vesey and Mark Riddington contributed bass and guitar.

At the time I was listening to a lot of Herbcraft, MV&EE, Ashra, Sinoia Caves, and private press oddities like Bobby Brown’s The Enlightening Beam of Axonda and Emerald Web, which might give you a few ideas where my head was at.

These songs sound a little different to the music I’ve gone onto release under my own name but there’s a common thread running through it all which I hope you’ll dig. I had limited tools; a cheap Telecaster copy and a Casiotone 403 mostly. It’s a little rough around the edges. It isn’t perfect. I was learning. This is the primordial ooze.”

Tracks 1-6 dribbled out online in 2017 after the project had wound down, as an EP entitled “Parallel Textface”. Tracks 7-9 are unreleased until now but date from the same period.”

This release features new artwork and all titles have been given some gentle audio massaging.

Bobby Lee Sheffield, UK

Bobby Lee trades in a wide screen brand of cosmic country-folk, full of space and pawn shop guitars. There are touches of JJ Cale's analogue Americana, the swampy groove of Tony Joe White and Richard Thompson's sinewy, modal guitar work. Amps hum in the warm afternoon sun, kids and dogs snooze on the grass and broken drum machines keep time with the universe… ... more
