Dave Hause and The Mermaid

• Events Home

With a little help from the Canadian government (in the form of a grant), The Mermaid decamped to Vancouver in January 2025 to co-produce the album with Jesse Gander (Japandroids, White Lung) who also served as engineer and mixer. “Jesse is about my age, so he's just as fired up on Minor Threat as he is on Bryan Adams,” says Hause of the obvious kindred spirit, with whom he had been chatting over the years. “The sonic references were really aligned, and I love his acumen and his approach. It's also a great studio, in one of my favorite towns, with tons of gear.”

The band and Gander tracked over 20 songs in two weeks, and Hause found himself grateful for the varying point of views that having other voices in the studio offered, even as he retained final say as bandleader. “It went really well,” he says of the creative collaboration. “We've cultivated a ton of trust and transparency. I would be an absolute fool to be this far in and assume that an idea shouldn't at least be considered. The older you get, the closer you can stay to the river of creativity, the better your life is. I had full faith that these four people that I've been working with in various iterations over the years are trying to do just that.”
