Pete Yorn's 2001 musicforthemorningafter was arguably one of the last of its kind: an unknown singer-songwriter's debut, given a classic major-label push. And it still sounds like one of the best things that happened to rock that year. Made at the weird unruly intersection of Nineties alternative rock and a new stubbornly-indie underground, Yorn's first record was a decisive turn away from the large hollow rage of grunge and rap-metal, into a richer tumult of folk-rock reflection, garage-band grind and pop-smart composition, with a striking confessional tension rooted in Yorn's teenage passion for the British rhythm and melancholy of the Smiths, the Cure and New Order.
