Yesteryear is the second studio album by Australian electronic music duo Cosmo's Midnight, released on 2 October 2020. The album debuted at number 42 on the ARIA Charts. Upon release, the duo said "It's an album inspired by personal growth, looking back on these experiences, learning from them and moving forward with optimism."[8]

At the 2021 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Dance Release.[9]

Critical reception[]

Jake Cleland from Stack Magazine said "Their second album shows more mature songwriting and a stronger sense of self, but nostalgia for the past. Even as they define themselves on their own terms, they're apprehensive about what they've left behind. But if their last album reappropriated the past, here they're creating the future. As inheritors of the Modular-era mantle, they have nothing to worry about. Memories of yesteryear might make them wistful, but the present is bright."[10]

Sose Fuamoli from ABC called the album "a sophisticated and well-engineered collection of music, showing that even though they spent a lot of Yesteryear's creative process reflecting and looking back, Cosmo's Midnight's future has never been brighter."[8]
