The Lemonheads have shared “Fear of Living,” the band’s new single and first taste of what will be their first proper album since 2006. Evan Dando played all the instruments on the single, which was recorded and produced by Apollo Nove at A9 Audio in São Paulo, Brazil. Dando co-wrote the song with his friend Dan Lardner of QTY who died in June.
“I met with Dan in 2022, he sent me ‘Fear Of Living’, I added some riffs and things, and he said he liked it,” says Evan. “I shall miss you, Dear Prince, ever the most dignified person in the room.” Dando’s voice is a little lower, octave-wise, than in the ’90s, but his ability to craft jangly pop is still sharp. Listen to that below.
The Lemonheads have a three-show New Year’s run at Evanston, IL’s The Space, and Evan has announced a 2024 solo tour with Willy Mason. There is currently no NYC show but all dates are listed below.
