Claude says:Pete Yorn's 2001 debut arrived as this perfectly calibrated answer to post-grunge ennui—lean, fingerpicked, lyrically sharp without trying too hard—and you've kept coming back to "On Your Side" and "Life On A Chain" like they're the only two songs that really understood what you needed that year. The album's got that early-2000s indie-rock intimacy where a guy with a guitar feels like he's sitting across from you, and somewhere between October 2012 and now, musicforthemorningafter became the kind of record you loop when nothing else quite hits.
