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.

The album was recorded in a cabin in Stony Lake, Ontario. The album was produced by the band instead of a "big name producer", 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."

AllMusic

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". 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."
