Pacer was The Amps' only LP. It was released on October 31, 1995. The album is titled after the first track. The song "I Am Decided" was a combination of two songs written by Robert Pollard, which were given to Deal as a gift after she produced some songs for Guided by Voices (Pollard's versions of both songs can be found on the Guided by Voices box set Suitcase 2 as "I am Decided" and "Are You Faster?"). The song "Hoverin'" was originally recorded by the Breeders as a B-side track on the single Divine Hammer.
