ExploreMusic.com recently sat down with Ed and Tyler to talk about the upcoming album "All in Good Time" (available 3/23 in Canada and 3/30 in the US). Check out the videos below:


Acclaimed multi-platinum pop-rock group the BARENAKED LADIES and their label Raisin’ Records have signed an exclusive worldwide deal with EMI Music’s Label Services unit and are gearing up for the March 30th release of their 11th studio album (March 23rd in Canada), ALL IN GOOD TIME. The band and longtime producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda began recording the album last spring at Canterbury Studios and Jimmy C’s in Toronto and recently finished mixing with Bob Clearmountain (Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, David Bowie).

We now have 18 tracks mixed by Bob Clearmountain!  We finished tracking last Friday, and Bob was hot on our heels with the mixes. He was already mixing tracks we'd finished earlier, while we forged ahead to finish the rest. He would have passed us for sure if we hadn't had some shipping delays getting him the raw materials. Bob really brought the songs to life. We knew he would.  I am so frickin excited about these new songs... well, it's ridiculous.  I can not wait to get them out to the world.  In fact I may not.  I may just post them all in a euphoric haze.

Holy Crap - that's finally it! After 19 days of work shopping and arranging and 37 days of recording, we're finished the heavy lifting on this, the 12th Studio Album from Barenaked Ladies. It's been both challenging and incredibly rewarding over the past three and a half months. We've undertaken our first recording as a 4pc, changed up our management, and we even got out to play a bunch of rock shows for y'all.

 Who says Keyboardists can't dance?  Kev has found the way.  There is no stopping him.  Believe or not, he's walking on air.

 It's a cloudy afternoon here in Toronto, and we're still plugging away on... as yet untitled.  That's not what it's called though.  We just did some killer clapping on "Golden Boy".  Any day you invoke the Bay City Rollers is a good day.  I'm setting up to play some guitar on "The Love We're In".  That song is struggling to find itself.  I think we're on the right track now.  I've tried several approaches to the vocal... I think what we ended up with is good, but it's a lot more fragile than I'm used to hearing my vocal.

One of the hardest parts of recording for the drummer is the over-dub process.  All the drums are done and, aside from the occasional tambourine or shaker, there's not much else to do.  Luckily, two factors contributed to me having more to do this time around. First of all, I get to sing a little more these days and I'm loving it! Secondly, JIM BOUGHT A BIG GREEN EGG so I became the session Chef! It was great to cook for my boys while we polished up the tunes.  Maybe I should do it on the road??

Wow.  Last day of recording here.  We are currently in the enviable position of having completed less songs than we have yet to complete.  Feels good.  In the way an unexpected kick in the throat feels good.  The good news is... what we HAVE finished is sounding incredible, and we're looking at solutions to record the balance while Bob is mixing.  I think we can, I think we can, I think we can.
