Background and recording

Good Riddance had broken up in 2007, but reunited in 2012.[1][2] Singer Russ Rankin began writing songs for the band's eighth studio album in 2014.[3] "I don't know how I wrote songs before GarageBand on my Mac computer", he said. "Being able to sit down with my laptop, plug in my guitar and demo a whole song is incredible. It is awesome."[3] Peace in Our Time was recorded that November at Motor Studios in San Francisco, with Bill Stevenson serving as record producer and audio engineer.[4] The album was mixed and mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room.[4] The cover illustration was done by Chris Shary.[4] With only 27 minutes in length, it is the band's shortest album to date.
