Similar in production style to its predecessor, Peace, Vol. II was recorded using bi-lateral audio, with frequencies scientifically proven to reduce stress and anxiety. [4] Ed Cash, commented on the outcome of the album, [5] saying:
I'm so thankful for the ocean, the birds of the air, the mountain breeze, a gentle rain and how God brings healing to us through His wonderful creation. Peace, Vol, II was a joy to work on—combining God’s healing sounds with calming versions of deep songs inspired by the Word of God has been one of my favorite projects to work on. The science behind using bilateral panning to help bring healing to all kinds of trauma is fascinating. We pray God will bring the healing you need as you listen!
