The album was produced by Jack Endino and featured the band's first single, "Hey Cuz".

The group's third album, Congregation (1992), was also produced by Endino and featured the singles "Debonair" and "Turn on the Water". The album was the band's first to be released on a major label, Elektra Records. The Afghan Whigs toured extensively in support of Congregation, including dates with Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
