Background and recording
Good Riddance had broken up in 2007, but reunited in 2012. Singer Russ Rankin began writing songs for the band's eighth studio album in 2014. Peace in Our Time was recorded that November at Motor Studios in San Francisco, with Bill Stevenson serving as record producer and audio engineer. The album was mixed and mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room. The cover illustration was done by Chris Shary. 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."
