BUZZ // The Lemonheads Announce New Album Love Chant, Share Lead Single “In the Margin”
The Lemonheads are set to return with Love Chant, their first album of original material since 2006, arriving October 24 via Fire Records. Ahead of the release, the band has dropped the lead single, “In the Margin,” and announced an extensive North American and European tour.
Frontman Evan Dando describes “In the Margin” as a “riffy” track built around lyrics by Marciana Jones, calling it “a full-on 8th-grade girl revenge song.”
Love Chant features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including J Mascis, Juliana Hatfield, Erin Rae, the Blake Babies’ John Strohm, and Nick Saloman of the Bevis Frond. Co-writers Adam Green and Tom Morgan contributed to the tracks “Wild Thing” and “Deep End,” respectively. The album was produced by Apollo Nove.
Since their 2006 self-titled LP, The Lemonheads have released two covers albums (Varshons and Varshons 2) and have been reinterpreted by artists like MJ Lenderman and Courtney Barnett. Dando is also set to publish a memoir, Rumors of My Demise, on October 7.

REVIEWS // Settle Down by Bryant Thomas
“Settle Down” is the latest single by southern pop rock musician Bryant Thomas. Raised in Mobile, Alabama, and now based in Palm Beach County, Florida. Thomas pulls from a rich musical heritage: country, blues, jazz, and good old rock and roll. He fuses them into something that’s unmistakably his own. There’s something about his sound that feels like your favorite denim jacket getting a fresh lining.
“Settle Down” lands right in the pocket of that fusion. It starts off gently, with a clean guitar rhythm and a lonesome wolf howl somewhere in the distance. It hints at a country rock type leaning ballad, but then in slide the electro beats, followed by smoky, heartfelt vocals that give the track its emotional weight.
