Formed in 1989, they were one of the bands that helped define the Chapel Hill music scene of the 1990s.

It is marked by the presence of co-producer Jim O'Rourke, a well-known figure in underground circles. Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster said that O'Rourke was selected because the band wanted someone "coming from a different head-space."

One of the horn players who appeared on the album is another well-known figure in underground circles, Shellac's Bob Weston.
