Silverball (Barenaked Ladies album)
Silverball is the upcoming 12th studio album by Barenaked Ladies (the eleventh, if Barenaked Ladies Are Me and Are Men are considered as one double-album). The album was formally announced on April 7, 2015 to be released on June 2, 2015.[2] The album is the band's third studio album since the departure of founding member Steven Page in February 2009. The album was recorded in late 2014 and early 2015 with producer Gavin Brown. "Matter of Time", a song from the album, was a digital pre-release give-away to ticketbuyers of the band's Last Summer On Earth 2015 tour.
The cover art for the album, which shares a name with one of its songs, apparently depicts a pinball sitting on a pinball table surface, reflecting the darkened figure of a man playing. Lead singer and guitarist Ed Robertson, an acknowledged longtime video game fanatic turned his interest towards pinball in the 2010s, amassing a collection of machines.
The lead single from the album, "Say What You Want", was made available for streaming on April 27, 2015,[3] then for digital download the following day.[4]
