Maybeshewill announce 10 year anniversary reissue of ‘I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone’

MAYBESHEWILL have announced a special anniversary reissue release!

The reissue, for the band’s landmark record I Was Here For A Moment, Then I was Gone, comes in celebration of the record turning ten years old and will be released via the band’s own label Robot Needs Home Collective.

The double LP features the record whilst the second LP includes b-sides and remixes from the original release, plus live versions of many of the tracks specifically mixed for this release. The whole record has been remastered by Tom Woodhead, with some slight alterations to the original vinyl release to maximise sound quality.

The band approached Hannah Mosley, who illustrated the original album’s artwork, to re-work it for the reissue, and she has completely re-drawn it to reflect the changes in her, and the band, as artists during the intervening decade – lovingly reimagining the whole sleeve as a beautiful reflection on the original artwork.

Speaking about the reissue, the band says, “this month, our third record, I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone turns ten years old. All our releases have an important place in our hearts, but I Was Here For A Moment marked an important inflection point for MAYBESHEWILL. We began the album tour playing to empty rooms in midlands towns and ended it two years later supporting THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN at Nottingham’s Rock City. We were a changed band – not least because this was the first record with Jamie as a band member and taking the lead on production duties, but also because by the end of the tour Matt had joined us full time too. In many ways it’s the tenth anniversary of MAYBESHEWILL as we exist now.”
