Recorded by John McEntire at Idful Studios in Chicago, "Nassau" moves the band away from the more immediate pop leanings of their self-titled debut and sees them begin to experiment as a band in production and songwriting. "Nassau" was featured on many 1995 year-end lists, moving the band into the spotlight and out of the shadows. "Nassau" lives up to the promise of their debut and raised the bar for things to come.
