**The Lemonheads** return with their first new album in almost two decades this Autumn. Rekindling the near-perfect pop for which they’re famed, they reveal a brand new single focusing on the light and dark of their impending new album ‘**Love Chant’** that will be released on **Fire Records** later this year.

Coinciding with the start of their Australian tour this week, **The Lemonheads**tease new material with new single ‘**Deep End’** out 14th May (1AM AEST May 15) alongside a new music video that was produced by Surreal Hotel Arts. The digital single release will be followed by a super-limited (500 copies only) 12” single available June 13.  **** Australian & New Zealand fans will have the chance to snap up a copy of the LTD ED 12″ single on the band’s AUS/NZ tour ahead of everywhere else.****

Beautifully ill-balanced, ‘**Deep End’** and ‘**Sad Cinderella**’ traverse the highs and lows of life, perfectly illustrating Evan Dando’s esoteric musical taste.

‘**Deep End**’  is a churning riff monster with light-the-blue-touch-paper guitar breaks by **J Mascis** of **Dinosaur Jr**, a compulsive fist-in-the-air piece of timeless punk pop, the perfect soundtrack for bumming a cigarette. Co-written with Australian sparring partner **Tom Morgan** of **Smudge** and featuring **Juliana Hatfield**, it signals a return down under for the band with several antipodean live dates scheduled this May.

***“One of the most influential bands of the last few decades”*** – **BANDCAMP**

Says **Evan**: *“I’m beyond stoked to be heading back to Australia, just in time for the release of new music that I’ve been working on, including a single co-written with the incredibly talented ****Tom Morgan****. Australia has always been a massive source of inspiration for my music, and with new music coming soon this feels like a dream come true. It’s also a special moment for me, as we wrap up celebrating the 30th anniversary of ‘****It’s a Shame About Ray’**** and ‘****Come On Feel The Lemonheads****‘. To be able to mark the end of that era in Australia, a place that’s always felt like a second home, is almost like being blessed to move on to a new moment.”*

Meanwhile, the flipside is straight out of the **Gram Parsons** and **Emmylou Harris** songbook; a cover of the late, great **Townes Van Zandt’s ‘Sad Cinderella**’, it’s a song for the romantics, a tearjerker that could have made its way onto **Neil Young’s ‘Harvest’**, or any aching **George Jones** opus; filled with regret and remorse, it’s a beautifully brittle duet between **Evan** and **Erin Rae**.

So, two slices of the born-again **Lemonheads**; a mature phoenix rising from the ashes of this legendary band who’ve been away way too long.
