Long time drummer Steve Gagné had left the band in 2011, causing Mystery founder, Michel St-Père, to find a new drummer. While Nick D'Virgilio was touring with Cirque du Solei in Canada, Michel contacted him about recording the drum tracks for the album as a session musician, to which he agreed. Antoine Fafard, who had worked with Mystery also as a session musician on previous album, recorded the bass tracks and additional acoustic guitar. Marilène Provencher-Leduc played all of the flutes on the album. Recording for the album was done in three studio, Nick D'Virgilio's drum tracks were recorded at Chemical Sound in Toronto on October 3 and 4 2011, Antoine Fafard's bass and acoustic guitars were recorded in his studio, Inhus Studio, in England, with the rest of the recording being done at St-Père's/Serge Gangloff's Studio Illusion III. The cover art for the album was done by Polish photographer Leszek Bujnowski. The original photograph is entitled Rainy Circu. .
