Description

12\’\’ – Strictly Limited Edition Black Vinyl. Only 500 copies pressed in this edition. The Lemonheads tease new material with this super limited 12 single. Rekindling the near-perfect pop for which theyre 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 Dandos 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. Cowritten 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 Zandts Sad Cinderella, its a song for the romantics, a tearjerker that could have made its way onto Neil Youngs Harvest, or any aching George Jones opus; filled with regret and remorse, its 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 whove been away way too long. Tracklist: A1: Deep End B1: Sad Cinderella (Townes Van Zandt Cover)
