Brighter/Later: A Duncan Sheik Anthology is a two-CD overview of the early years of Duncan Sheik's career, released on Rhino Records on October 24, 2006. The title is a play on and tribute to singer-songwriter Nick Drake's second album, Bryter Layter. Brighter/Later surveys Sheik's three Atlantic Records CDs (Duncan Sheik, Humming, and Daylight) as well as the Nonesuch release Phantom Moon.

In addition to singles, album cuts, and concert favorites, the album contains a number of rarities and previously unreleased tracks. They include:

  • a studio recording of "Lost On The Moon" (from the international-only version of the Daylight album)
  • "Wishful Thinking" from the Great Expectations soundtrack
  • an unreleased recording of Joni Mitchell's "Court And Spark"
  • an unreleased remix of "For You"
  • a new live recording of "Home"
  • "hidden" tracks from Humming (the eight-minute "Foreshadowing") and Daylight ("Chimera")
