Manning Fireworks (Vinyl) - By: Mj Lenderman - Model Number: ANT88013.1

Description

MJ Lenderman is a songwriter born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina. The anatomy of an MJ record might go something like this: warped pedal steels and skuzzed out guitar; crackin™ a cold one with some buds; a voice reminiscent of the high-lonesome warble of a choirboy. Songs snake their way from a lo-fi home recording to something glossier made with longtime friends at Asheville™s Drop of Sun studios, but the recording setting doesn™t seem to matter much “ at its core, a Lenderman song rings true.

Manning Fireworks is a remarkable development in MJ Lenderman™s story as an incredibly incisive singer-songwriter, whose propensity for humor always points to some uneasy, disorienting darkness. The punchlines are still here, as are the rusted-wire guitar solos that have made Lenderman a favorite for indie rock fans looking for an emerging guitar hero. There™s a new sincerity, too, as Lenderman lets listeners clearly see the world through his warped lens.

"MJ Lenderman Is Knockin™ On Rock Stardom™s Door ” Stereogum
 
[Lenderman™s] appeal lies in the easygoing charm of his songs. They sound like a buddy spinning a yarn on his porch, feel like someone handing you a beer at a barbecue. ” GQ
