Fake Nudes was also released physically on CD and vinyl.[10] The song "20/20 Hindsight" was deleted from the vinyl version of the album.[11]
The title Fake Nudes is a parody of the term "fake news" while indirectly referencing the band's name.[12]
The lead single from the album, "Lookin' Up", was made available for download, alongside "Bringing It Home" on the pre-order date of 8 September 2017. The official music video was produced by Rooster Teeth, who have produced a number of the band's music videos since Grinning Streak in 2013.[13]
A music video for "Bringing It Home", combining both studio footage and live footage (the latter filmed during the Fall 2017 "Canada 1 Five 0" Canadian tour)[14] was posted to the band's Facebook page on 17 November 2017.[15] A video for "Navigate" was also released on 25 June 2019.[citation needed]
