Detour de Force is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies, released on 16 July 2021 by Raisin' Records.[6][7] It was released in CD, digital and double transparent-blue vinyl formats.[6]
The album was recorded in two spans; first at Ed Robertson's cottage in February–March 2020, followed by sessions at Noble Street Studios and Vespa Studios in Toronto, Ontario in June–August 2020.[8][7] Production was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic which delayed the band's touring and album release schedule as well.[8]
Production
The original cottage sessions were produced by Mark Howard. The band had intended a more stripped-down session which would have been followed by limited studio time to add finishing touches, but the cottage sessions were interrupted in mid-March 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the band had more time to complete the record, and spent June–August 2020 with producer Eric Ratz reshaping the record.[8][7][9]
Singles
The lead single, "Flip", was made available for download on 12 April 2021. This was followed by "New Disaster" which premiered on 4 June 2021. The third single, "Good Life," was released simultaneously with the album on 16 July 2021. Each song was accompanied by a music video.[8][9][6]
