Lemonheads, The - Deep End

FIRE RECORDS - FIRELP804S1

The Lemonheads tease new material with this super limited 12" single. Rekindling the near-perfect pop for which they're famed, the single focusses on the light and dark balance of their impending new album 'Love Chant' that will be released on Fire Records this Fall. Beautifully ill-balanced, 'Deep End' and 'Sad Cinderella' traverse the highs and lows of life, perfectly illustrating Evan Dando's esoteric musical taste. 'Deep End' is a churning riff monster with light-the-blue-touch-paper guitar breaks by J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr, a compulsive fist-in-the-air piece of timeless punk pop, the perfect soundtrack for bumming a cigarette. Co-written with Australian sparring partner Tom Morgan of Smudge and featuring Juliana Hatfield, it signals a return down under for the band with several antipodean live dates scheduled this May. Meanwhile, the flipside is straight out of the Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris songbook; a cover of the late, great Townes Van Zandt's 'Sad Cinderella', it's a song for the romantics, a tearjerker that could have made its way onto Neil Young's 'Harvest', or any aching George Jones opus; filled with regret and remorse, it's a beautifully brittle duet between Evan and Juliana Hatfield. So, two slices of the born-again Lemonheads; a mature phoenix rising from the ashes of this legendary band who've been away way too long.
