Fresh from teasing the release of new album Love Chant last month, The Lemonheads have previewed the upcoming LP with latest single “Deep End.”
Co-written by Evan Dando alongside longtime collaborator Tom Morgan (of Australian outfit Smudge), “Deep End” features Juliana Hatfield on backing vocals with additional guitar from Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis. Both Hatfield and Mascis make brief cameos in the accompanying video, which was filmed in by São Paulo, Brazil by Surreal Hotel Arts.
The black-and-white clip sees Dando walking down an endless sidewalk as he’s passed by a series of objects, people, and landscapes, with his bandmates occasionally joining. “It’s never been so painless making a video,” Dando said of the clip. “Everyone working was really great. The endless sidewalk goes really well with the song.”
“Deep End” is also backed by a cover of Townes Van Zandt’s “Sad Cinderella,” which features backing vocals from Nashville artist Erin Rae. Both tracks will appear on a limited edition 12″ vinyl single that arrives on June 13 via Fire Records.
The A-side is set to appear on Love Chant, which will arrive as the band’s first album of new material since 2006. The record will reportedly release in fall, though specific details are expected to arrive in the coming months.
The Lemonheads first formed in Boston in 1986, with a series of independent albums arriving via Taang! before the group signed to Atlantic for 1990’s Lovey.
Working with Morgan while in Australia, The Lemonheads found their commercial breakthrough with 1992’s It’s a Shame About Ray, which reached No. 68 on the Billboard 200. Its success was bolstered by a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson,” and helped the group achieve their commercial peak with 1993’s Come on Feel the Lemonheads, which peaked at No. 56.
The Lemonheads initially dissolved in 1997, though Dando reactivated the group in 2005, with a self-titled record arriving the following year. Since then, two cover albums have been released, with Varshons and Varshons 2 being issued in 2009 and 2019, respectively.
