ArrangingTime is the sixth solo studio album by American musician Pete Yorn. It was released on March 11, 2016, via Capitol Records. The album was engineered at Loma Lada Studio, Spring Street Sound, Atomic Halo Recording and The Clinic in Los Angeles and at Pap Pap's Palace in Venice. The production was handled by Yorn himself together with R. Walt Vincent, Scott Seiver, Sunny Levine, Jeff Trott and Marc Dauer.
The album peaked at number 63 on the Billboard 200, number 7 on the Top Rock Albums, number 3 on the Americana/Folk Albums and number 5 on the Top Alternative Albums charts in the United States.
It was preceded by four digital singles: "Summer Was a Day", "Lost Weekend", "Halifax" and "I'm Not the One". The album's second single, "Lost Weekend", became the only charted song, reaching number 16 on the Adult Alternative Airplay and number 47 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts in the US. Its lead single, "Summer Was a Day", can be heard in the ninth episode of the second season of American television drama series The Royals and in the eighth episode of the sixth season of the American television comedy drama Shameless. Music videos were shot for the songs "Lost Weekend"[1] (directed by Maria Innes Manchego), "I'm Not the One"[2] (starring Charlotte McKinney) and "She Was Weird"[3] (directed by Flávia Lucini and Rogerio Mesquita).

ArrangingTime was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 69 based on eleven reviews.[5] The aggregator AnyDecentMusic? has the critical consensus of the album at a 6.2 out of 10, based on eight reviews.[4]
Eric Renner Brown of Entertainment Weekly stated: "while Yorn's simplicity hinders unobjectionable but unremarkable ballads like "Shopping Mall", he rarely plays the weepy balladeer on ArrangingTime and keeps momentum relatively strong throughout".[10] Philip Wilding of Classic Rock wrote: "while the results haven't got the near-reckless zeal of the young Yorn's records, the sense of longing reflects the broken-down feel--strumming acoustic guitars, the light thrum of a snare--of some of the material he was writing back in the early 2000s".[8] Lee Zimmerman of Paste praised the album, saying "it's primarily the tone and temperament that varies from track to track. It's a superb sound, and that's one of many reasons why ArrangingTime feels like time well spent".[11] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine found "on this record, Yorn seems to master mood more than tune, but that winds up being to his benefit. This tonal elasticity gives ArrangingTime an enveloping warmth, one that is alluring even if it tends to shift concentration away from the songwriting that allegedly was his greatest strength".[7]
In mixed reviews, Alexandra Fletcher of PopMatters resumed: "this record is late '90s/early '00s radio rock nostalgic and comforting. It feels good, but like most things, not as good as the first time".[12] Cai Trefor of Drowned in Sound claimed "his dull lyrics get made more of a point of through repetition, they shine brighter than his well-crafted moments of introspection. There's only so many times listening to a man singing about someone waiting at a bus stop can be bearable".[9]
