Surrender to the Night

Surrender to the Night is the second album by Trans Am, released in 1997.

Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly called the album "a blend of Wire-esque jaggedness, arena-rock machismo, and the occasional dance-friendly beat." The Washington Post deemed it "a great record from a band pushing all the dance/noise/punk envelopes."

AllMusic wrote: "The group is at its best when they stumble onto the occasional square foot of new territory (as on 'Cologne', 'Tough Love', and the title cut, all of which wed live, more immediately rock-based instrumentation with electro-funk rhythms and synth figures), but much of Surrender lays on familiar, by now somewhat fallow soil."
