Alt-rock veterans the Lemonheads have officially announced their first album of all-new original material in almost two decades, "Love Chant," arriving via Fire Records on October 24. They have also announced a major world tour beginning in London in August, withNorth American datesbeginning in November. The full album tracklist and tour itineraries appear below. The album features guest appearances from frontman Evan Dando's longtime collaborators J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Juliana Hatfield, Tom Morgan (as co-writer for "Deep End"), 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. The album was recorded in Brazil at São Paulo's A9 Áudio with producer Apollo Nove (Rita Lee, Bebel Gilberto, Seu Jorge). The press photo accompanying the announcement shows the band's sense of humor is intact (see above). The album is previewed with the release of the band's new single, "In The Margin." "I wanted to have a riffy song, so I wrote riffs all over it," says Dando. "The body of the song was Marciana's (Marciana Jones). It's like a full-on 8th-grade girl revenge song: 'Stupidly I left the escape plans out so they could find my way.'" The album and tour break a long period of sporadic activity from Dando and the band, who have toured and released two covers albums in recent years, but their last album of original material was 2006's self-titled album.
