Barenaked Ladies Set to Record Sixth CD

TORONTO - The Barenaked Ladies are going back into the studio to record their sixth CD, a follow-up to their American breakthrough album, Stunt. Steven Page, who plays guitar and sings in the Toronto-based band, says the group will be in Los Angeles next month to begin recording the album, which has yet to be named, for release in mid-September. It will be produced by Don Was, famous for his work with the Rolling Stones and Bonnie Raitt.

The band's first Canadian tour in four years will follow shortly after the album's release, said Page, 29. While the writing process is not yet complete for the new album, Page said fans can expect "classic Barenaked Ladies". "It has all extremes," Page said Thursday in Toronto. "It has the humour, it has a lot of musical styles, it has the real down-tempo, thoughtful songs - maybe it is a little more political."

The new album will appear shortly after the film Barenaked In America, a backstage diary of the band directed by Jason Priestly, the Canadian-born actor of Beverly Hills 90210 fame. The film is scheduled for release in mid-August. Page called the timing of the film and the new album a "happy accident."
