The Lemonheads Return With First Album of All-New Original Material In Almost Two Decades; ‘Love Chant’ Out Today

The Lemonheads have officially unveiled their first album of all-new original material in almost two decades, Love Chant, available everywhere now via Fire Records both digitally and in a wide range of physical formats including CD, limited edition White LP, limited edition Picture Disc LP, limited edition Yellow LP, and limited-edition Rough Trade Exclusive Blue LP.

STREAM/PURCHASE LOVE CHANT

Recorded at São Paulo’s A9 Áudio with producer Apollo Nove (Rita Lee, Bebel Gilberto, Seu Jorge), Love Chant marks the welcome reemergence of singer-songwriter-guitarist Evan Dando’s justifiably legendary rock ‘n’ roll band, with songs like “Deep End,” “In The Margin,” “The Key of Victory,” and “Togetherness Is All I’m After” all marked by the emotional clarity, melodic instinct, and wry intimacy that have long defined Dando’s body of work. With musical and co-writing partnerships by a bevy of dear friends and collaborators, including Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis, Juliana Hatfield, Boston punk legend John Felice (The Real Kids), Blake Babies’ John Strohm, British psychedelic rock icon Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond), Nashville folk pop singer-songwriter Erin Rae, cult singer-songwriter Adam Green (The Moldy Peaches), longtime cohort Tom Morgan (Smudge), producer Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Antony and the Johnsons), and others, Love Chant is much more than simply a return to form for Dando — it’s a bold, melodic reaffirmation of one of alternative rock’s most distinctive voices.

Having already been greeted by worldwide media attention from such publications as Rolling Stone, Consequence, The Guardian, Uncut, Stereogum, and many more, Love Chant has now quickly begun garnering critical acclaim, with Mojo hailing the album in its four-starred review as “scrappy, vulnerable, and heartfelt but also loose, exuberant, and animated in a manner that seems faithful to who Dando is today.” “An album that will be more than enough to cheer those who remember the Lemonheads fondly,” wrote The Arts Desk. “Dando emphatically reclaims the musical territory that has been taken over by less adept pretenders during his absence.”

The Lemonheads have spent much of the past year celebrating Love Chant with a marathon world tour, resuming November 11 at Birmingham, AL’s WORKPLAY and then continuing though a December 20 finale at Nashville, TN’s famed Basement East. Support throughout comes from special guest Erin Rae. For complete details and remaining ticket information, please visit www.thelemonheads.net/tour.

What’s more, Dando recently shared his candid, colorful, and unputdownable memoir, Rumors of My Demise (Gallery Books), available now at bookstores everywhere. The true story of the Lemonheads’ tumultuous history and what it was like to be famous in the pre-internet 1990s, Dando’s remarkably honest autobiography presents an exuberant portrait of an artist who lives wholly for his music, and one that makes no apologies for doing so. “Riveting,” raved The Observer. “Dando’s entertaining, painful memoir is about talent and fame in all its raw, messy reality.”
