Civil Twilight is the debut studio album of Civil Twilight. It was officially released 6 April 2010 in South Africa and on 13 April 2010 in the United States and United Kingdom. It features many alternative rock and classical influences. Many have drawn parallels between the band's debut and the early work of U2 along with Muse. Steven McKellar's vocals have been compared to that of Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley. During its original independent release by the band in 2007, the album was originally titled Human.
Letters from the Sky was the first single to be released from this album. It reached number 7 on Billboard Alternative Songs chart. It also reached number 25 on the Rock Songs chart. It is their best charting single to date on that chart.
