Following a long delay with their former record label, Hagfish returned to The Blasting Room with Stevenson and Egerton, who reprised their roles as producers to record the band’s third album. This recording attempt proved successful and the self-titled Hagfish saw release on March 24, 1998. The album was issued through Honest Don’s Records , a subsidiary label of Fat Wreck Chords . Two songs featured on Hagfish previously appeared as b-sides to the “Happiness” single, which included an early version of “18 Days” (originally titled “New Year’s Song”) and a live version of “Twisting”, a They Might Be Giants cover. The band again toured in support of the release.
