Future Nostalgia is the fifth studio album by Canadian rock band The Sheepdogs, and serves as a follow-up to the band's previous release, The Sheepdogs.[1] The album was released on October 2, 2015 via Warner Music Canada.[2] The album peaked at No. 11 on Billboard'sCanadian Albums Chart on October 24, 2015.[3] The album was recorded in a cabin in Stony Lake, Ontario.[4][5] The album was produced by the band instead of a "big name producer",[4] and in an interview the band stated, "We wanted to get back to a homemade approach. [...] We wanted to be away from any scene or distraction and keep it real simple."[4]
Sarah Murphy of Exclaim! wrote, "the band's latest LP hears them moving forward sonically, while still throwing back the golden days of classic rock".[2] James Christopher Monger of AllMusic compared the band to the Guess Who and Bachman–Turner Overdrive, and wrote that the album contains "expertly played Queen-style guitarmonies, stadium-ready singalongs, boogie rock backbeats, Rhodes electric piano solos, and stories about good times gone bad/bad times gone good."[6]
