For those not in the know, while sister album Glitch Wizard spelunked the caves of Anton Barbeau’s psyche, this companion album Dig The Light emerges with 13 tracks of musical sunshine.

Recorded at the same basement temple (before its darker twin was even complete), this album swaps introspection for connection, featuring psychedelic godfather Barry The Fish Melton trading licks with XTC’s Dave Gregory while The Moore Brothers add harmonies sweet enough to require a dental plan.

Where Glitch Wizard dives inward, Dig The Light extends a hand outward, offering dry, intimate production that lets big themes breathe without gasping. It’s the musical equivalent of finding an unexpected flashlight just as the sun sets — proof that even the master of psychedelic freak-outs knows when to guide us toward rather than away from the light.

Barbeau’s unique blend of pre-apocalyptic and psychedelic pop opens on the shimmering Eastern-hued masterpiece Moondust Hallelujah and the electric guitar-fed Dogstar, and then we get given the ambient Cosmic Mind Awaken, the drum-led rock of Dig The Light, the low slung Incantation and the languishing Come The Hummingbird.

Up next is the gritty rocker Mushroom Madness and the gentler acoustic fare of All My Dreams, and they are in turn backed by the rhythmic I Saw Syd, the impassioned Life Gives You Lemons, the atmospherically-charged High On A Mountain Hill, before the laid back and summery Mahogany Jam Jar and the melodically lighter Hallelujah Sun bring the set to a close.

This CD is housed in eco-friendly 350g digifile (environmentally friendly, just like the message), features 13 tracks of sonic sunshine (no SPF required, but headphones recommended) and is the perfect vessel to catch Anton’s brightest rays.
