Resent and the April Sunshine Shed is the fourth official full-length release from electronic music producer Benn Jordan as The Flashbulb.

This album features a range of new instrumentation added to Jordan's list. The album has overtones of acoustic and electric guitar and bass guitar and many more peripherals were used during the recording of this album, including live drums, cello, turntables/scratching, Indian-style singing, a grand piano, and a renewed emphasis on warm analogue synthesizer tones.

As the first official release of Jordan's label Alphabasic, this album (catalogue number alph001) is something of an experiment in enhanced CD, featuring an interactive menu that pops up when the disc is placed in a PC that contains five previously unreleased tracks, wallpapers, contact information and a music video for a song called "Autumn Windows".
