Trout had been the bass guitarist in A.C. Temple and had published solo and band material under the name Kilgore Trout.
Their self-titled debut album was released that same year through 4AD offshoot label Guernica Records. A single and mini-album followed before Masters and Trout went their separate ways. Songs were written by both members of the band, individually and collectively, and both sang and played most of the instruments. The first album was produced by Duncan Wheat, with the single and mini-album produced by the band themselves.
