DAY I FORGOT picks up on the promise of singer/songwriter Pete Yorn's debut MUSICFORTHEMORNINGAFTER with its 14 self-penned songs. The New Jersey native goes from channeling a Led Zeppelin vibe (the stomper "Carlos [Don't Let It Go to Your Head]") and tossing around a Johnny Marr-ish jangle (a jaunty "Come Back Home") to pulling off a credible waltz inspired by Baz Luhrmann ("Turn of the Century"). Despite being hung with the introspective singer/songwriter label, Yorn manages to avoid becoming another morose balladeer, and instead has fun reminiscing about teen love (the power-poppy "Burrito") and the vulnerable early stages of a relationship (a guitar-fueled "Crystal Village"). Yorn also shines when he touches on the mind-numbing routine that everyday life can become (a chiming "Man in Uniform") and taking to task someone who tossed aside a loving relationship (the off-kilter "When You See Light"). With DAY I FORGOT, Yorn has once again penned a passel of songs not soon to fade from memory.
Editorial Reviews
...Music that's as much rock as it is singer/songwriter fare...'
