EVAN DANDO And THE LEMONHEADS – Wowing Ressurection With New Album ‘LOVE CHANT’ Out Now
27 October 2025
EVAN DANDO and his band, for almost 4 decades, THE LEMONHEADS have released
their new album baptized Love Chant , the first with original, new Lemonheads music
since 2006. In between Dando had recorded/released a couple of albums with covers
of favorite songs.
Press info: “After years of writing, wandering, and starting over, Evan Dando returns with Love Chant, the first Lemonheads studio album of original material 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.”
Mojo Magazine says: “Love Chant might be described as scrappy, vulnerable and heartfelt, but it is also loose, exuberant and animated in a manner that seems faithful to who Dando is today.”
TUTV: The fact that em>Dando and his Lemonheads have a new album, after all these years, out is surprising, but it’s even more surprising that it’s a crackerjack one. Clean Dando has obviously refound his 90s appetite for creating enthralling pop music and
he eagerly wants it to share with us; from the get-go.
The 4 first tracks’ swift and jaunty flow, catchy melodiousness, rollicking guitar
exuberance and peppy vocals set the record’s reborn tone. Dando has resurrected himself and his band gloriously. Now and then he touches turbulent memories from the past and does some soul-searching again, but you can feel he’s truly happy, healthy and excited to be here in great artistic shape.
Not one dull moment. Mind you, it’s not masterpiece, rather
a welcome reaffirmation of The Lemonheads‘ riveting pop
mastery.
