After the breakup of Trip Shakespeare , Wilson and Munson joined up with drummer Slichter to form the band Pleasure in 1993. By 1995, they had changed their name to Semisonic. An EP, Pleasure , was released that year on Boston indie label CherryDisc . Semisonic had signed a record contract with Elektra Records to record the Great Divide album. During recording, Bob Krasnow, the president of Elektra Records had quit, and in the changeover to a new president, the label dropped Semisonic. The band then signed with MCA Records , and finished recording the album. The studio full-length Great Divide was released in 1996 on MCA.
