The fourth single from highly- anticipated album 'Love Chant' opens with a whallop before dissolving into a final whispered plea: "Baby, don't blow it." Between its crashing introduction and dissonant fade-out, Dando skips a gentle and familiar melody across a thick, dense, and beautiful bed of guitars whose bite doesn't pierce but builds the track's fuzzy sheath. His voice has gathered a wisdom about it since the last Lemonheads album 20 years ago, which gives the understated, natural delivery on 'Togetherness Is All I'm After' a special gravity. The track was co-written by Evan Dando with John Strohm of Blake Babies

'Diary of a Candle' is a consoling, melodic suite – with tender woodwinds and richly-layered strings touched by the hazy atmospheres of 1970s/1980s films. Its understated heart-on sleeve romanticism follows the rhythm of nature: it bends in the breeze, drifts through the air, and settles on the ground. The ambiance is not an escapism, but the re-focusing of a lens through which humans are no longer the protagonists. Instead, a landscape's intimate details become the central figures
