Pavlova’s Dog was recorded in several venues, notably Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Todd’s Place in Harrowsmith, and Fake Cake Lodge in Kingston. Mixing duties for the album were handled by Ian Docherty, with Elisa Kady Pangsaeng mastering at CPS Mastering in Vancouver, BC. The band have also released a music video for the song “Royalty.”

Vocalist Ted Evans shares his thoughts:
“We truly poured everything we had into making this album. Physically and mentally we just went all in. All four of us, and everyone involved. I recorded guitar for so many hours, icing my arm between takes and living off energy drinks. It was an incredible achievement, and working with some of our heroes made it even more special.”
Vocalist Amanda Pants says:
“For this album we wanted to take the time to go deeper with some of the songs. Really thinking about the things we wanted to say, we poured our thoughts, insecurities, emotions, and vulnerabilities into every lyric and melody. We gave ourselves the freedom to be raw and honest, to confront our innermost fears and doubts, and to embrace our quirks and imperfections.”
Drummer Alastair Morrison adds:
“The Meringues has been more than a band to me. They’ve supported me through tough times, including my battle with cancer. Their unwavering support made it easy to return to drumming and continue where I left off.”
