Signed to Sub Pop

In 1990, Seaweed signed to the thriving Seattle label Sub Pop . The label wanted a single but the band wanted a full-length album. They met halfway, and released the EP Despised . Six songs were brand new tracks, recorded with producer Jack Endino . The remaining four tracks were slightly remixed from their previous release, Seaweed ; thus, angering their former label Tupelo. On foreign editions of the album, the aforementioned four tracks were not included. A music video was created for “One Out of Four” off of Despised , which was the band’s first music video of their career.
