On 'Sunbeam Of No Illusion', Ben Seretan and John Thayer find melody where ambient music usually forgets to look, treating amplified mistakes, grass-bundle drumsticks, and borrowed sustain as the raw material of a minimalist document of place. The Minimalist Gospel of Ben Seretan and John Thayer:

GUEST LIST is available for preorder today. The end result of 2.5 years and 22 collaborators & my first LP in a decade, GUEST LIST is by far the most fully realized incarnation of the sound world in my head, everything I love about music brought forward by a crack team of players & friends.

Review | Ben Seretan & John Thayer - Sunbeam of No Illusion by @zivljub1.bsky.social "They were able to make a seemingly complicated concept sound as easy and natural as their “machine in the garden” should sound. Their sunbeam sounds quite natural indeed." echoesanddust.com/2026/04/ben-...

The new Ben Seretan x John Thayer record is out today on @akprecordings.bsky.social. It’s got a mellow, organic warmth to it that is reminiscent of Nico Georis’ Pink Clouds thanks to the abundance spacey, dusk-toned keys. #ambient #newmusic #musicsky seretanandthayer.bandcamp.com/album/sunbea...

really enjoyed chatting with Brad - what a mensch!!!
Brad Rose@foxydigitalis.bsky.social · 5mo agoThis week on Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ben Seretan! What a joy this episode was to record. Ben’s the best. His new album, “Sunbeam of No Illusion,” with John Thayer is one of my early favorites so far this year. PLUS, Arthur Russell, Wham!, Clarence Carter, Celine Dion, Prince, Pet Shop Boys + more!
Anyway in a day that's already gone off the rails at 10 am EST it's nice to find out that Ben Seretan and John Thayer have made an album of super chill keyboard music together.
