Began writing Red Medicine

Fugazi began writing the material for Red Medicine in late 1994, after touring in support of In on the Kill Taker . The band worked with Zientara but chose not to work with Niceley again. Fugazi opted to retreat from the in-your-face production values of In on the Kill Taker and instead worked to create an ambient sound that displayed greater range and depth. To achieve this, the band handled production duties itself, and in doing so, became more confident with in-studio experimentation. Red Medicine has been seen as an introduction to the art rock aesthetic that would continue in the band’s next two studio albums. The band began an extensive worldwide tour in support of the album, playing 172 shows between March 1995 and November 1996.
