Recording
After a successful run of shows throughout 2016, Hockey Dad flew to Seattle to record Blend Inn with producer John Goodmanson at the Robert Lang Studios. According to drummer William "Billy" Fleming, the album title refers to "the part of your head that you want to go to when you're overseas and wishing you were back home, it's within. We're always just trying to be comfortable and semi blending in, so it's the name we gave to that place you zone out to." The album artwork depicts a photo of the studio where the band recorded the album. The photo was taken by Fleming.
