This is THE LEMONHEADS week on radio TANGRA MEGA ROCK.
For a band that’s constantly on the road, it’s hard to believe THE LEMONHEADS haven’t released an album of original material in nearly twenty years. Love Chant marks their first collection of new music since 2006’s self-titled record.
The 11 tracks here mark a curious blending of the band’s earlier punk-fused records with their more melodic alt-pop output best represented on It’s A Shame About Ray and Come On Feel The Lemonheads.
With Evan Dando as the only consistent member in the band, he brought in a number of longtime friends to help with this one, including fellow ‘90s Boston music scene vets like J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr) and The Blake Babies’ Juliana Hatfield and John Strohm, as well as Australian musician and longtime Dando collaborator Tom Morgan.
Bryce Goggin, who has produced several LEMONHEADS’ records, also makes an appearance. Two who are new to THE LEMONHEADS universe are Nashville folk musician Erin Rae and Nick Saloman of The Bevis Frond.
