How I Became the Bomb - Volume II: Foremost Sentinel

As I have mentioned before (and will continue to mention) local artists How I Became the Bomb are releasing digital EP's (let's call them DEP's) every few months instead of relying on the traditional CD/LP manufacturing and release type scheme.

Volume II in this format, Foremost Sentinel, has been released on the web and I'd venture to say it's even better than the first volume. There's a video on the way as well; to be released on January 27th.

Jamie and I managed to cobble the cover art together in a day's time along with the help of Blake McClure. It was an intense amount of shuffling most of my belongings from around the house into one central spot but it turned out well.

• Dissecting the Cover Art - a breakdown of pretty much everything seen on the cover
• Making the Sentinel - a time lapse video using Gawker that shows us setting up the whole thing. In hindsight we should have had it capture every 30 seconds instead of every 60 but that's not something you can go back and correct.
