1994, Sub Pop Records
Set to a dense musical backing--led by Rick McCollum's searing guitar--the album is a collection of travelogues through the murky waters of singer Greg Dulli's twisted mind. The standout track is "I Know Your Little Secret," which opens on a plaintive note before using the cracked steps of Dulli's ravaged voice to build itself into an insistent and genuinely threatening piece of rock & roll. While Up In It, is perhaps not the most cohesive version of Dulli and Co.'s vision, it is a lot more emotionally credible than anything else previously associated with Sub Pop. The record is a clearly marked signpost in the Whigs' simultaneous trips to the bottom of the bottle and to the lowest possible plateau of relations between men and women.
