The recording process on this current recording was much more professional then on their last album, A Very Strange Bear, Ives said.
Seven of the 10 tracks on the new album were recorded in Rykal's studio. Two of them were recorded in Ives' basement and one was recorded in Rykal's home.
After the album was recorded, Zack Hanson performed the mastering process. Ives viewed Hanson's contribution to the process as very important.
"I was impressed," Ives said. "Once the mastering was done it was amazing how shiny and polished it was."
Local music label Amble Down Records is releasing the album.
Amble Down Records is also the home to recordings of other projects by musicians in "Meridene." Rykal's other band, "The Gentle Guest," recently released a new album, We Are Bound To Save Some Souls Tonight, on the label.
Amble Down Records' owner Kyle Frenette feels that "Meridene" is a very positive member of his organization.
"It's a pleasure for us to have 'Meridene' on Amble Down Records," Frenette said. "They are one the poppiest bands in town."
