Orlando, Florida quintet You Blew It! are set to release their sophomore LP Keep Doing What You're Doing with us on January 14, 2014. The follow-up to 2012's critically acclaimed Grow Up, Dude was produced by Evan Weiss of Into It. Over It. and engineered by Matt Jordan (Stay Ahead of the Weather, Cut Teeth) at Atlas Studios in Chicago.

I remember repeatedly asking Evan, Matt and the band for updates throughout the recording process and got nothing in response nearly every time save for the same video clip of AXL Rose repeatedly asking of his backing band, "Gimme some reggae!" — which I took as an omen for the entire album.

Fortunately, Keep Doing What You're Doing sees You Blew It! instead dialing back on their more raw influences to create complex song structures, intricate guitar lines and cleaner vocals with a healthy dose of fuzz riding over it all. The ten tracks on the album call to mind The Get Up Kids, American Football and Death Cab for Cutie but maintain the integrity of the sound that the band has built their name on. Pre-orders are now up for the album with several package deal options available.

Yesterday, Pitchfork said of the band,

noticeably cleaner and more purposeful ... the grown-up sonics only make the underlying, pound-the-dashboard, yell-to-yourself sentiments all the more loud and clear.

Stereogum also weighed in on the new song:

Big feelings, big sound.
