A week of rehearsal took place at Wiggs’s house in Bedfordshire , England, and Pod was recorded in ten days in Edinburgh, Scotland . They used the remaining time to record a Peel Session and a video for “Hellbound.” Returning to London, they played two shows, the only time that this lineup ever appeared onstage together. Released on 28 May 1990, Pod, although not commercially successful, received positive reviews from alternative and mainstream critics alike; The New York Times ‘ Karen Schoemer wrote: “The angular melodies, shattered tempos, and screeching dynamics recall elements of each of the women’s full-time bands, but Pod has a smart, innovative edge all its own.”
