"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 bevy of new instrumentation added to Jordan's list of gear. Present in the album are 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 synth tones.

As the first official release of Jordan's label Alphabasic, this album (catalogue number alph001)is a bit 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 info, and a music video for a song called "Autumn Windows".
