Fake Nudes is the twelfth studio album by Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies. It is the band's 12th full-length original-material studio album and their 16th overall. It was recorded from January to February 2017 at Noble Street Studios in Toronto, Ontario,[3] and was released on 17 November 2017 through Vanguard.

The album was formally announced on 5 September 2017 and was made available for pre-order on 8 September 2017. Online pre-orders include six instant-gratification downloads, released two per month (including two on the pre-order date): "Bringing It Home", and the lead single, "Lookin' Up". The album's lead song, "Canada Dry", was released for download on 22 September 2017.[4] "Invisible Fence" was released for streaming on 5 October 2017, then for download the following day.[5] "We Took The Night" was made available for download on 21 October 2017.[6] The final pre-release song, "Sunshine", was released for streaming on 2 November 2017, then for download the following day.[7] The band recorded the album with producer Gavin Brown, who has produced several recordings for the band and its members since 2013.[8][9]

Fake Nudes was also released physically on CD and vinyl.[10] The song "20/20 Hindsight" was deleted from the vinyl version of the album.[11]

The title Fake Nudes is a parody of the term "fake news" while indirectly referencing the band's name.[12]

Singles

The lead single from the album, "Lookin' Up", was made available for download, alongside "Bringing It Home" on the pre-order date of 8 September 2017. The official music video was produced by Rooster Teeth, who have produced a number of the band's music videos since Grinning Streak in 2013.[13]

A music video for "Bringing It Home", combining both studio footage and live footage (the latter filmed during the Fall 2017 "Canada 1 Five 0" Canadian tour)[14] was posted to the band's Facebook page on 17 November 2017.[15] A video for "Navigate" was also released on 25 June 2019.[citation needed]
