The tracks were mixed at One on One Studios ([[Los Angeles]], California) and Music Grinder Studios, and were mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering ([[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]], California). Both the band and Trombino produced the album, with the latter also responsible for the album's mixing duties. ''Clarity'' marks the start of Adkins's primary role as lead vocalist and, instead, Linton's focus was guitar work. ''Clarity'' was also released on vinyl through the now-defunct American independent record label Big Wheel Recreation.<ref name=oxfordmusiconline>{{cite web |url=https://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/epm/13867 |title=Jimmy Eat World |last1=Larkin |first1=Colin |website=Oxford Music Online |publisher=Oxford University Press |access-date=April 17, 2014}}</ref>
