Earlier this year, Evan Dando announced the first Lemonheads album in 19 years, sharing a new single, the J Mascis and Juliana Hatfield-featuring ‘Deep End’. The group has revealed the album’s release date titled: “Love Chant” arrives October 24th via Fire Records.
Check out the new track ‘In the Margin’ below, “I wanted to have a riffy song, so I wrote riffs all over it,” Dando said of the loud, propulsive new song. “The body of the song was Marciana’s (Marciana Jones). It’s like a full-on 8th grade girl revenge song: ‘Stupidly I left the escape plans out so they could find my way.’”
Much of the new LP was tracked in Brazil, where Dando is now based. It was produced by Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Apollo Nove, and, along with Mascis and Hatfield, features contributions from Tom Morgan (who co-wrote ‘Deep End’), producer Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Antony and the Johnsons), Nashville singer-songwriter Erin Rae, John Strohm of the Blake Babies, Nick Saloman of the Bevis Frond, and Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches.
