Like a memory on the cusp of consciousness or a dream barely recalled, Pete Yorn's second Columbia Records album, Day I Forgot, is like the return of a welcome friend, occasioning a flood of nostalgic reminiscences. It is the logical successor, the second chapter to his critically acclaimed, RIAA-certified gold debut, musicforthemorningafter, the emotional hangover now clearing, a clean slate. Yorn once again played many of the instruments, co-producing with R. Walt Vincent and Scott Litt, who mixed several tracks, as did Andy Wallace and Ken Andrews. "I wanted to get back to a straight-up rock sound, and let the vocal melodies and songs speak for themselves." " I just want to create music that makes me feel good," says Yorn. "I was trying to make a record that I would be proud to listen to ten years from now."

Like the memories Pete Yorn taps for his inspiration, Day I Forgot lingers long after the music is over.
