Over the course of four outstanding CDs released between 1996 and 2002, Duncan Sheik established himself as one of the best singer-songwriters working today.

Rhino offers a comprehensive overview of the early years of his career with Brighter/Later: A Duncan Sheik Anthology, a two-CD set that showcases the emotional highs and lows of Sheik's songs.

Its name a play on and tribute to singer-songwriter Nick Drake's second album, Brighter/Later surveys Sheik's three Atlantic Records CDs (Duncan Sheik, Humming, and Daylight) as well as the Nonesuch release Phantom Moon. Duncan Sheik says of the set's concept: "I wanted to have these two CDs where you would kind of stay in a particular mood and wouldn't be sent back and forth-where, as you listen to each CD, you could get into one headspace and stay there for a while."

He selected the track list based on that idea. Disc One, "Brighter," showcases Sheik's more energetic pop-oriented songs, while Disc Two, "Later," highlights his more contemplative compositions.
