The Lemonheads have released a new song, “The Key of Victory,” as the latest preview of the band’s first new album in 19 years, Love Chant. Stream it below.
Recorded at Abbey Road, “The Key of Victory” was co-written by frontman Evan Dando with Rum Shebeen’s David Ashby, and features Apollo Nove on guitar and harmonies from Erin Rae. Dando’s gruff vocals take the forefront, as he sings about being true to himself and others.

“It’s quiet, it’s bitchin’. It’s pretty and it’s modal,” Dando said about the track in a statement, revealing that it was inspired by Lou Reed. “I was trying to do like a ‘Street Hassle’ vibe, you know?”
