The result is a well-produced release, which captures the intensity and emotional turmoil of The Meringues. 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.”

Pavlova's Dog explores the fun and dysfunctional side of The band. The eleven tracks delves into deep psychological themes to playful, child-like perspectives. The Meringues reveal their true essence as a band with catchy melodies and sharply poignant lyrics, capturing the dark undercurrents of self-doubt and personal struggle. Amanda Pants explains, “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.” 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.”
