Due to internal tensions, Segel left the band during rehearsals for their fifth album in early 1989. Written mostly as a four-piece, the resultant LP, Key Lime Pie , featured the violin playing of Don Lax before the replacement violinist Morgan Fichter (of the Bay Area band Harm Farm) was found. Fichter played violin on Opening Theme, Pictures of Matchstick Men and Flowers, the final songs recorded for the album.
