The Lemonheads return with 'Love Chant' (out via Fire Records on October 24th), the first album of original material in nearly two decades. On the third single from upcoming album, 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. Written with David Ashby (Rum Shebeen), its vocal was recorded at Abbey Road.

Key of Victory' is indicative of the songwriting diversity at play on Love Chant.
About the track Evan says, “It’s quiet, it’s bitchin’. It’s pretty and it’s modal. I was trying to do like a Street Hassle vibe, you know?”
