Release


"Good Grief" was released as the album's lead single on 24 April 2019, followed by "Good for You" and "Head Cold" on 15 August and 12 November respectively. Music videos for all three tracks were released on the band's YouTube channel.

On 20 December 2019, Spacey Jane signed with English record label AWAL, following a "breakout year" for the band; having become the fifth most played artist on Triple J Unearthed in 2019 and selling out three Australian tours.[11]

Three more singles were released in 2020. On 26 February 2020, the band officially announced the album's release via social media, alongside fourth single "Skin", a music video, and an Australia-wide tour.[12] Of the announcement, lead vocalist Caleb Harper said the band was "so incredibly excited to finally be putting out our first ever album - it's been a long time in the making and we can barely keep still over it".[13]

Penultimate single "Straightfaced" was released on 1 May 2020 alongside a music video,[14] followed by "Booster Seat" on 7 June 2020, premiering on Richard Kingsmill's program on Triple J.[15][16]

Following the album's release, the band held an online Zoom party with customers of the album on 19 June 2020.[17]

Sunlight received "widespread acclaim".[20]

Reviewing the album for NME, Ali Shutler concluded that "As huge as Spacey Jane sound on Sunlight, it's never at the expense of their heartfelt honesty. All the jagged edges of conflicting genres are somehow smoothed out under their command and there’s not a moment of their ambitious vision that feels uncomfortable."[19]

Declan Byrne of Triple J summarised the album as "navigat[ing] past relationships, failures and lessons learned, but all through a bright, summery filter".[8]
