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] 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] At only 27 minutes long, it is the band's shortest album to date.

Regarding the recording of the album, Rankin said, "I don't know how I wrote songs before GarageBand on my Mac computer. Being able to sit down with my laptop, plug in my guitar and demo a whole song is incredible. It is awesome."[3]

Release

Peace in Our Time was released April 21, 2015 through Fat Wreck Chords.[5] Music videos were released for the songs "Dry Season" and "Disputatio".[6][7]
