Twilight is the reissued version of the 1998 album The Race of a Thousand Camels by English alternative rock band Bôa, released on 21 March 2001[1][2] by Pioneer Entertainment. It was later reissued on 7 March 2024 by Boa Recordings.[3] During the recording of the album, the band consisted of Alex Caird, Ben Henderson, Jasmine Rodgers, Steve Rodgers, Lee Sullivan, and Paul Turrell.

The opening track, "Duvet", became popular after being used as the opening theme song of the 1998 anime television series Serial Experiments Lain.[4] On 6 October 2023, the song received a gold certification from the RIAA. A year later, on 16 October 2024, it received platinum certification for achieving 1,000,000 certified single sales thanks to its 2024 reissue and renewed attention on social media platforms.[5][6]
