The Lemonheads are back with their first album of original material in almost two decades. Love Chant will be released on October 24 via Fire Records, and the band has just shared its latest single, Togetherness Is All I’m After.
Frontman Evan Dando co-wrote the track with former Blake Babies bandmate John Strohm. It captures the classic Lemonheads sound – scruffy guitars and Dando’s unmistakable baritone – but with a maturity that comes from the 20 years since the last record.
Love Chant was recorded in SĆ£o Paulo with producer Apollo Nove (Rita Lee, Bebel Gilberto, Seu Jorge) and features a long list of collaborators, including J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), Juliana Hatfield, John Felice (The Real Kids), Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond), Tom Morgan (Smudge), and Adam Green (The Moldy Peaches).
The album has already been previewed by singles In The Margin, Deep End, and The Key of Victory.
Mascis’s signature guitar playing features on Deep End, while Hatfield contributes harmonies, and Erin Rae lends vocals to The Key of Victory, which was partially recorded at Abbey Road.
Alongside the album, Dando will release his memoir Rumors of My Demise on October 7 through Gallery Books.
The Lemonheads will embark on a North American tour from November 11, following extensive dates across Europe.
