Advantages: Romantic,folky,earthy,cat chy,vocally evocative and a really nice chill out album.

Disadvantages: Sometiems its hard to distinguish the songs from eachother, but this passes with listening time.

Not bad for a 26-year-old drummer turning his hand at singing and songwriting! Peter Yorn's album Musicforthemorningafter went gold in April 2002 and rightly so!

This album is really lovely and I can sincerely recommend it if you like David Gray, Bruce Springsteen and Ray LaMontagne. His music is heavy on the folky guitar chords and harmonica accompaniments that give it a real 'on the road' feel.

His vocals are really strong too, especially in songs like 'Strange Condition' where he shows both depth and warmth in the raspy quality of his voice. This works really well with the music and tone of the album.

This album is rife with guitar riffs and soft steady drums that make you feel like you are on a slow train being lulled gently. A brilliant example of this is in 'Just Another'.

Some songs feature steelier guitar riffs with warbling effects alongside some heavier drums, which helps lift the pace of the album after a few slower songs. Songs like 'Black' really give the album the slight energy needed to keep the momentum going, although this isnt the best track on the album.

Lyrically the album isn't groundbreaking but then I dont feel like it needs to be. The songs are catchy and dreamy and will definitely slow dance your soul into a beautiful romantic daydream that you will find it really hard to get out of.

Summary: With a 2nd name like Yorn, this album does have a sleep quality!
