THE LEMONHEADS share their new single, ‘Key of Victory,’ today. This is the third single from the band’s first album of all-new original material in almost two decades. Love Chant arrives via Fire Records on Friday, October 24.
On ‘Key of Victory,’ Evan Dando offers an introspective set of lyrics centring around the importance of honesty to oneself, and its taxing but necessary role in communication. Complementing the driving energy of previous singles, ‘Deep End’ and ‘In The Margin,’ ‘The Key of Victory’ is all slow motion and soft shadows – a modal, meditative piece anchored by Apollo Nove‘s winding guitar and Erin Rae‘s spectral harmonies.
The song was written with David Ashby (Rum Shebeen), and its vocal was recorded at Abbey Road. Stamped with a profound lightness and beauty, “The Key of Victory” is indicative of the songwriting diversity at play on Love Chant.
Recorded at São Paulo’s A9 Áudio with producer Apollo Nove (Rita Lee, Bebel Gilberto, Seu Jorge), Love Chant marks the welcome return of a justifiably legendary rock ‘n’ roll band.
The album was heralded by the premieres of the hard-hitting singles, ‘In The Margin’ and ‘Deep End,’ available everywhere.
