“The band reclaims its old indie-rock with scruffy guitar riffs and choppy drums behind Dand's jaded baritone .” -NEW YORK TIMES "At long last, a new album is on its way." -CONSEQUENCE "Dando on his best form since the '90s." -UNCUT "Still able to soar." -MOJO The fourth single from The Lemonheads' highly anticipated album Love Chant opens with a whallop before dissolving into a final whispered plea: "Baby, don't blow it." Between its crashing introduction and dissonant fade-out, lead singer/guitarist Evan Dando skips a gentle and familiar melody across a thick, dense, and beautiful bed of guitars whose bite doesn't pierce but rather builds the track's fuzzy sheath. His voice has gathered a wisdom about it since the last Lemonheads album 20 years ago, which gives the understated, natural delivery on "Togetherness Is All I'm After" a special gravity. The song was co-written by Evan Dando with John Strohm of Blake Babies. "Listen to the wind blow A whisper through the trees Where did all the time go What brought you to your knees The strategy of time is you can speed it up you can slow it And when you laid it on the line Baby, don’t blow it." LISTEN TO "TOGETHERNESS IS ALL I'M AFTER" Recorded at São Paulo’s A9 Áudio with producer Apollo Nove (Rita Lee, Bebel Gilberto, Seu Jorge), Love Chant marks the welcome return of a justifiably legendary rock ‘n’ roll band, with founding singer-songwriter-guitarist Evan Dando joined by a bevy of dear friends and collaborators including J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Juliana Hatfield, Tom Morgan (as co-writer for “Deep End”), producer Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Antony and the Johnsons), Nashville’s Erin Rae, John Strohm of the Blake Babies co-wrote and played guitar on “Togetherness,” and Nick Saloman of The Bevis Frond (a songwriter and performer on the swirling psych-folk gem “Roky”). Adam Green of cult New York favorites The Moldy Peaches also contributes as co-writer on the loose-limbed country detour “Wild Thing.” ​​The album was heralded by the premieres of the hard-hitting singles, “In The Margin” and "Deep End," as well as the introspective "The Key of Victory." “In The Margin” is a classic Dando composition: half-broken, half-beautiful, wrapped around a melody that disarms before it detonates. “Deep End” was co-written by Dando with longtime collaborator Tom Morgan of Smudge, the churning, riff-powered track, which features an instantly identifiable guitar solo from J Mascis and backing vocals from dear friend and frequent Lemonheads guest Juliana Hatfield. The song was met by worldwide attention upon its premiere last month by such high-profile publications as Rolling Stone, Billboard, Uncut, Stereogum, and Consequence, the latter of which praised its long-awaited reprise of the Lemonheads’ “scrappy, guitar-forward rock sound.” An official music video, filmed on location in São Paulo, Brazil, by directors Carlão Busato and Luigi Parisi, is streaming now on YouTube. "The Key of Victory" is all slow motion and soft shadows — a modal, meditative piece anchored by Apollo Nove’s winding guitar and Erin Rae’s spectral harmonies. The song was written with David Ashby (Rum Shebeen), and its vocal was recorded at Abbey Road. Stamped with a profound lightness and beauty, "The Key of Victory" is indicative of the songwriting diversity at play on Love Chant, which arrives via Fire Records on Friday, October 24. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now.

Artists like MJ Lenderman, Courtney Barnett, and Waxahatchee have all covered Dando’s songs, praising the emotional clarity, melodic instinct, and wry intimacy that define his writing. That resonance across generations makes Love Chant feel like more than a return — it’s a reminder of what made this band matter in the first place. The Lemonheads have been celebrating Love Chant with a marathon world tour featuring headline shows and top-billed festival appearances across the UK and Europe. North American dates get underway November 11 at Birmingham, AL’s WORKPLAY and then continue through a December 20 tour finale at Nashville, TN’s famed Basement East.
