"Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" first came out in August 1992 on Puzzle, dada's debut album, issued by I.R.S. Records. Phil Leavitt holds the composer credit, and the band produced it themselves.
Puzzle is the album that carried "Dizz Knee Land", the band's hit, and critics heard a record poking at the Southern California dream and whatever lurks beneath it: bright melodies and radio-ready harmonies, Los Angeles all over the imagery, and a skeptic's eye on the whole scene. It keeps coming back, too, first as a 2004 reissue with bonus tracks on Blue Cave Records, then as a limited vinyl pressing for Record Store Day 2025.
