4AD gave Deal and Donelly a budget of $11,000 to make an album. Deal asked the Perfect Disaster ‘s Josephine Wiggs to play bass. The two had first met when Perfect Disaster supported the Pixies in London in 1988. Deal asked Steve Albini , who had worked on the Pixies’ 1988 album Surfer Rosa , to record the album. The Breeders did not have a drummer, so Albini suggested Britt Walford of Slint . Walford agreed to play on the album under the pseudonym “Shannon Doughton”.
