Scott McCaughey's The Minus 5 initially started out as a side project, acting as an outlet for songs he wrote while in the Young Fresh Fellows, but that didn't quite fit the sound of his principal band. Formed in 1993, with the notion that every album released would feature a different cast of musicians, McCaughey assembled Peter Buck of R.E.M., and Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow from The Posies to record 1995's debut album Old Liquidator.
