After touring for two years in support of their 1990 album Up in It, the band received $15,000 advance from Sub Pop to record a follow-up album. It was primarily recorded at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville and Buzz`s Kitchen in Los Angeles during July to August 1991. The band`s frontman Greg Dulli produced the album entirely with audio engineer Ross Ian Stein. The album`s production and release were hindered by Sub Pop`s financial difficulties, which were eventually resolved by the massive commercial success of Nirvana`s 1991 album Nevermind.
