Samiam signed with the indie label New Red Archives and issued their self-titled debut album in 1990.
Samiam's first album for Atlantic was Clumsy, issued in 1994 and produced by Lou Giordano.
However, over the next few years, Samiam would prove not to be broken up, but more like on a weird quasi-hiatus, since they occasionally toured overseas.
