Four Cornered Night is the second studio album by American rock band Jets to Brazil, released on September 11, 2000, through Jade Tree. In late 1999 and early 2000, while touring in support of their debut studio album Orange Rhyming Dictionary (1998), the band debuted new material. Between March and May, they recorded at Inner Ear Studios with J. Robbins. The emo and post-punk album featured the inclusion of cello and piano instrumentation, with lyrics sung from the first-person perspective of frontman Blake Schwarzenbach.
Four Cornered Night received a favourable response from music critics, many of whom found it superior to Orange Rhyming Dictionary. It reached number 19 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, later going on to sell over 48,000 copies in the US. Three of the album's songs appeared on Jade Tree's website prior to the release of Four Cornered Night. The band supported it with two tours of the United States – one following its release, with Cave In and Shiner, and the other in early 2001, with the Love Scene – as well as a stint in Japan.
