Recording
Rescue was produced by Jordan Valeriote and mixed by Cameron Webb.[2][nb 1] The album was recorded over a longer period of time than any of their other albums, taking place over two separate sessions over a year apart, which the band has since said caused the album to have a more ‘disjointed’ feeling.[7] Initial sessions for the album took place in the spring of 2009 shortly after the release of their fourth full-length album A Shipwreck in the Sand. The release of Shipwreck completed their contract with Victory Records and they recorded about 5-6 new songs that would end up on Rescue to shop to new record labels, ultimately settling on Hopeless Records. Three of these demos were included on the deluxe version of the album.
Music and lyrics
The material on Rescue was described by Told as "a cross between Discovering and Shipwreck".[8]
Rescue contains two songs from the band's previously released EP Transitions.
