Sunlight is the debut studio album by Australian indie rock band Spacey Jane, released on 12 June 2020 through AWAL. It was recorded throughout all of 2019 and produced by Dave Parkin. Sunlight is the band's final release to include contributions from bassist Amelia Murray, who plays on the album alongside her successor Peppa Lane. Described by frontman Caleb Harper as an album "full of apologies",[1] Sunlight lyrically acts as a reflection on his mental health amidst relationship breakdowns, in contrast to its affable melodies and jangling instrumentation.[2]
Supported by five singles and several national tours throughout 2019 to 2021, Sunlight contains the band's triple-platinum track "Booster Seat". Debuting at number two on the ARIA Albums Chart, the record was voted number one in Triple J's Album Poll and was nominated for Independent Album of the Year and Best Independent Rock Album at the 2021 AIR Awards. For selling over 35,000 copies, Sunlight was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) in 2022.
