New album, SILVERBALL, was recorded and produced entirely by Gavin Brown… Check out some behind the scenes footage as the band and Gavin discuss working together again on this upcoming album (out June 2, 2015)

The band moved at warp speed recording tracks for this new album – Take a look behind the scenes of how “SILVERBALL” was made….

“SILVERBALL” is out June 2nd

“I think it would be fair to say if the band was collectively known as Stella, then this record would indicate the reality that Stella had indeed got her groove back! This is the first record since our debut, Gordon that was written with no hand-wringing, second-guessing, insecurity or self-doubt,” states Ed.

Available on June 2nd, SILVERBALL was produced by the band’s longtime friend Gavin Brown (The Tragically Hip, Metric) who helmed their previous project, 2013 Grinning Streak. The album’s thirteen tracks showcase the band’s growth, while still delivering a flurry of counterpunches and a wisecrack or two, in true BNL fashion.

“We’re pushing in new directions—as always, I think—but it’s still unmistakably these four guys playing together, and that’s what I’m most proud of,” Robertson adds. “I put the record on and it doesn’t sound like anything we’ve ever done before, and yet it is unmistakably the new Barenaked Ladies record.”

Hello friends –

I hope you are all having a lovely 2015 so far. I am writing today to give you a bit of news: I recently learned that I have a serious health issue which will leave me “on the bench” for a few months starting this month.

In my absence, The Rock Boat cruise and other shows will go on as scheduled with Maury LaFoy filling in for me. Hopefully my recovery will be speedy and I’ll be back on the road soon.

I will miss seeing you all and I apologize for the surprise.

I look forward to seeing you all again a little ways down the road.

Please send good vibes my way, and see you soon.

Kevin
