"Civil Twilight" appears on Reunion Tour, the Weakerthans' fourth studio album, released in September 2007. John K. Samson wrote the words, and the music is shared between Samson, Stephen Carroll, Greg Smith and Jason Tait.
Ian Blurton produced the album, as he had Left and Leaving and Reconstruction Site before it, and he has called it the band's most experimental record yet; Carroll pointed to ambient passages, tape loops and more keyboards than they had used before. Ahead of the release, the band put out tongue-in-cheek "webisodes" about making it on Epitaph's website.
