The Lemonheads have returned with a superb new single “Fear Of Living” and a stellar B-side "Seven Out”, which are out now via Fire Records.
The first new material from The Lemonheads and Evan Dando in years, these new tracks arrive in support of Evan Dando’s upcoming solo tour that begins in October.
“Fear Of Living” is a reflective upbeat slice of perfect pop with a grittier Evan at the helm and a riff that’s plucked from the very heart of rock ‘n’ roll. Evan played all the instruments on the recording, which was recorded and produced by Apollo Nove at A9 Audio in São Paulo, Brazil. Evan is working on the first original Lemonheads album since 2006.
Another of careful choice of outsider pop, ‘Seven Out’ is a cover of The Vaselines and Eugenius’ Eugene Kelly’s bittersweet track. Also recorded in São Paulo, the B-side sees Evan joined by Jeff Berg on bass and Erin Rae on backing vocals.

"There’s a new Lemonheads track out today. Evan Dando cowrote the country-tinged power-pop tune “Fear Of Living” with the late Dan Lardner of QTY, and he recorded it way down in Brazil. It finds Dando singing in his lower register, adopting a vocal tone that reminds me a bit of Johnny Cash."

“Fear of Living” features a catchy guitar riff and carpe diem lyrics from Dando, who sings, “Life is short and unforgiving/ I only fear the living.”
