The Lemonheads release fourth single ‘Togetherness Is All I’m After’ from upcoming Album ‘Love Chant’
The Lemonheads: Album Love Chant released 24th October 2025 on Fire Records
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
The fourth single from 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, Dando skips a gentle and familiar melody across a thick, dense, and beautiful bed of guitars whose bite doesn’t pierce but 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 track was co-written by Evan Dando with John Strohm of Blake Babies.
“The new record contains some of Dando’s most experimental material to date, trading country-fried distortion for time-warped psychedelia.” – Bandcamp ALBUM OF THE DAY
After years of writing, wandering, and starting over, Evan Dando returns with ‘Love Chant’ (out via Fire Records on October 24th) — the first Lemonheads studio album in nearly two decades. Long in the works and shaped by shifting geographies and a cast of trusted collaborators, it’s a bold, melodic reaffirmation of one of alternative rock’s most distinctive voices.

Now based in Brazil, where much of the album was recorded, Dando’s relocation in recent years has offered a quiet shift in perspective — a chance to reset, reconnect, and finally bring these songs into focus. The result is a record that sounds both fresh and familiar: rooted in the hallmarks of The Lemonheads’ best work yet expanded by years of lived experience and new surroundings.
Arriving this autumn alongside Dando’s memoir, Rumours Of My Demise (out via Faber on November 6th), ‘Love Chant’, produced by Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Apollo Nove, draws together old friends and new allies. J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Juliana Hatfield, and Tom Morgan (as co-writer for ‘Deep End’) rejoin the fold, alongside 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 favourites The Moldy Peaches also contributes as co-writer on the loose-limbed country detour “Wild Thing.”
Over the past few years, The Lemonheads’ influence has only deepened. 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.
“Few bands have been able to walk the line between the angst of grunge and the warmth of folk quite as elegantly as The Lemonheads.”
