In bringing their latest album to life, BARENAKED LADIES found their chemistry and camaraderie stronger than ever before.
With next year marking the thirtieth anniversary of the Toronto-based band—which has now sold over 14 million albums worldwide and earned multiple Juno Awards and Grammy nominations—FAKE NUDES emerges as their most dynamic album to date.
“The diversity that’s always been a hallmark of this band is really liberating when we’re making records, because we never feel restricted to a certain sound. Its way more malleable than that: whatever sound we all create together, that’s Barenaked Ladies.” – Ed Robertson
Reuniting with award-winning producer Gavin Brown (who also helmed 2017’s Ladies And Gentlemen: Barenaked Ladies And The Persuasions, 2015’s Silverball, and 2013’s Grinning Streak), Fake Nudes builds off the band’s harmony-rich hybrid of folk and pop/rock and pushes into more eclectic sonic terrain. Whether they’re weaving in elements of electronic music or classic country, Barenaked Ladies’ anything-goes approach instills Fake Nudes with a powerful vitality that makes each track all the more infectious.

Through the years, the band has endlessly proved their undeniable power as a live act, with each set propelled by their palpable chemistry. On tour in Canada for the rest of 2017, Barenaked Ladies will bring their high-spirited live show to the U.S. and UK in the spring. More information on U.S. tour dates coming soon.
