The Lemonheads have announced details of their ninth studio album, Love Chant, their first collection of new material in almost 20 years.

Love Chant, the follow-up to the band's self-titled 2006 record, will be released on October 24 on Fire Records. And you can listen to In The Margin, its second single, right now. The album's first single, Deep End, was released earlier this month.

Frontman Evan Dando describes In The Margin as "like a full-on 8th grade girl revenge song", adding, "I wanted to have a riffy song, so I wrote riffs all over it".
