Against the Night is the second album, released originally in 1999, by Jason Webley. It was re-released by Springman Records in 2003. He has been known to regard it as his depressing album, "the soundtrack to a subtle apocalypse." It is his most popular album to date, and Webley regards it as the album where he really comes into his own as a songwriter.[2]
The track "Last Song" appeared in the ninth episode of the podcast Welcome to Night Vale, titled "PYRAMID".
