Sub Pop Records captured the distorted, sludge-heavy atmosphere of the Seattle underground. The resulting production feels intense and isolated, reflecting the circuit that existed in the region at the end of the eighties.
The sessions cost just over six hundred dollars, a fee paid by guitarist Jason Everman to earn his position in the group. This debut release acted as a heavy opening statement for a sound that would influence the coming decade.
