Unlike previous studio albums by TBF, Pistaccio Metallic was released under Dallas Records. It is also the first studio album that features new drummer Janko Novoselić. He also played on their 2010 live albumPerpetuum Fritule. For the first time TBF recorded a studio album outside their hometown Split. The album was recorded in Novo Mesto, Slovenia at the RSL Studio. It is also the first time TBF produced a studio album by themselves without an external producer. The album got its name from the band's inside joke about the color ofthe guitar - however, Badovinac claimed in an interview that TBF always creates "wacky" album name, which are often nonsensical.
