You Blew It!
The Past In Present
This is the record that got us to pay attention to YOU BLEW IT!. Not because its a great record (its not). The Past In Present is riddled with imperfections and quirkiness throughout. There are truly great moments on this album, while others stumble and fall just short - the markings of a band that knew what they wanted to do, but werent quite there yet (theyll be there in early 2014, though, I assure you). Mostly, this record is special because it captures a snapshot of the early stages of a promising bands missteps and triumphs over the course of a heart-on-sleeve album. Its altogether endearing and youthful. Its YOU BLEW IT!. The original artwork was made for CD and frankly, was really, really pixelated even at that size. Realizing this wouldnt work for a 12" LP, we enlisted the help of longtime go-to art guy Ben Sears. The result is an homage to the original with Bens trademark touch. Hes also done the rest of the album layout as well!
