Kingston, Ontario-based post-punk powerhouse The Meringues recently released their sophomore full-length album entitled Pavlova’s Dog. At the heart of the band are Amanda Pants and Ted Evans, whose dynamic vocal interplay and onstage antics blur the line between playful banter and intense rivalry. Their unique chemistry is supported by the solid rhythm section of Jackson Baird on bass and Alastair Morrison on drums, creating a thrilling atmosphere that threatens to spiral out of control while maintaining a clear artistic vision.

The recording of Pavlova’s Dog took place at multiple locations, including Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Todd’s Place in Harrowsmith, and Fake Cake Lodge in Kingston. The drum recording was engineered by Camille Comeau, with additional recording by Ted Evans. Mixing was handled by Ian Docherty, while the mastering was expertly completed by Elisa Kady Pangsaeng at CPS Mastering in Vancouver, BC.

Ted Evans reflects:

“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.”

Amanda Pants added:

“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.”
