"Waiting for a bottle of truth, I'm just a lonely guy in my youth," proclaims a gravel-throated voice in track four of this impressive debut. Who hasn't been so close to being so far away with life? With love? Perhaps with both? Musicforthemorningafter is a wisely understated pop record that searches, discovers and mourns over these youthful mysteries. Along the way, Yorn provides fun-loving guitar tones, making the journey accessible to listeners. Helping him paint in the warm colors of a mellotron and B3 organ is co-producer Brad Wood (Placebo, Liz Phair). Together, they create a complete sound with the rough edges kept in for good measure. When the fifteen-song quest has ended (including a hidden track), Yorn proves he's mature beyond his years and has the perfect summer record to prove it.-Pete Lusch
