About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

South Jersey singer/songwriter Pete Yorn wears his heart on his sleeve like Whiskeytown's Ryan Adams, delivers seductive vocalics similar to Jakob Dylan, and plays into passion and emotion like Jeff Buckley. The year 2001 belonged to Yorn, and his critical praise was not unwarranted, and Musicforthemorningafter, his debut for Columbia, marks a stunning beginning. It's a raw selection of heartland and American trad rock, yet Yorn's love for Brit-pop is also quite evident. Songs such as "Sense" and "Simonize" resemble threads of the Smiths, and are delicate with breezy acoustics woven inside of Yorn's hushing vocals. Rhythmically, Yorn is a perfectionist -- he plays nearly every instrument on the album and nothing is left unopened or lost. "Strange Condition" illustrates a sentimentality that is quite endearing. He isn't concerned with an image, regardless of the press making him out to be the hip poster boy. He only yearns to write the perfect pop song. Not totally playing into the lush side of things, he does rollick his way through a hearty selection of songs. Debut single "Life on a Chain" is twangy with an honest impression; down-home acoustic riffs are brawny and a definitive song craft is cast. The fierce melodies found on "For Nancy ('Cos It Already Is)" and "Murray" support Yorn's dear heart with a cord of mystery. Musicforthemorningafter arrived when modern rock was looking for an outlet to escape alternative metal popularity. Yorn isn't afraid of becoming pop, for it's with a rugged edge and that's quite all right. MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

December 16, 2005: One of my top 5 favorite CDs ever. I've probably listened to "Strange Condition" about a million times and never get sick of it. The lyrics are introspective yet effortless, as is the music. A modern day poet with a laid back, ultimately cool attitude. This is the kind of CD you can play all the way through over and over again. As you listen to it more and more, you can relate to every emotion in every song. After awhile, you will think Pete Yorn read your mind and wrote the entire CD just for you. Ultimately, a very clever, fresh artist.

September 26, 2005: From beginning to end, this album is complete, 100% perfection. From an artist with so many influences, he packs them all onto this album. The first half of the album is more or less radio friendly, but the real fun comes later with "On your side", "Sense", and "EZ". Buy it for the front half, which you will love immediately, love it forever thanks to stunningly beautiful songs on the back half.
