The band's self-titled debut album arrived in 1997, finding Siphon operating outside the grunge milieu that had defined their city's sound. The record offered a collection of tightly-wound, anxious alternative rock tunes that sounded more aligned with Dischord Records than Sub Pop.
- The album was produced by Kurt Bloch of The Fastbacks, who had previously worked with bands like Gas Huffer and Teenage Fanclub.
- The record was released on the independent label Siphon, and saw limited distribution primarily in the Pacific Northwest.
- The album failed to chart on the Billboard 200, remaining an underground release.
Siphon is an American indie rock band formed in Seattle in 1990. They are best known for their contribution to the city's "grunge" scene, though their sound also incorporated elements of post-punk and shoegaze.
