Detour de Force is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies, released on 16 July 2021 by Raisin' Records. It was released in CD, digital and double transparent-blue vinyl formats.
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. Production was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic which delayed the band's touring and album release schedule as well.
The vinyl LP edition of the album includes a previously-unreleased track, "The Way of The Heart", written and sung by Kevin Hearn.
