The Lemonheads have shared details of their first album of original music in 19 years, titled Love Chant.
Spanning 11 tracks, much of the record was recorded in Brazil, where frontman Evan Dando is now based. It features contributions from the likes of J Masics, Juliana Hatfield, Bryce Goggin and Erin Rae, among others.
To mark the announcement, Dando and co. have shared lead track ‘In The Margin’, which you can listen to below.
In a press statement about the track, Dando said: “I wanted to have a riffy song, so I wrote riffs all over it. The body of the song was 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.’”
Ahead of the album’s release, the group will play a series of UK and European live shows through August and September. Shows in North America will follow across November and December. You can check the itinerary here.
The Lemonheads’ last album of original songs was their 2006 self-titled LP. Since then, they have released two albums of covers, Varshons and Varshons 2. Dando is set to publish a memoir, Rumours Of My Demise, on October 7.
Fire will release Love Chant on October 24, 2025.
