Abort was recorded and mixed at Blue Jay Recording Studio in Carlisle, Massachusetts from January to February 1991.

The album is mostly re-recorded versions of tracks from Here at the Home. Eight of the ten tracks from Here at the Home were re-recorded for Abort. Four tracks were brand new including "Easter Dinner", "Joyride (I Saw the Film)", "Payphone", and "Serenade".

The track "Pinwheels" was also re-recorded for Abort but in the end was not put on the album. Instead, it was released as a b-side in the Easter Dinner E.P.

Three singles were released from the album as EPs including "Easter Dinner", "Payphone", and "Joyride (I Saw the Film)", the latter of which also spawned the band's first ever music video.[2]
