• Manning Fireworks, released in September 2024, marks another luminous chapter in MJ Lendermans growing solo oeuvre. The album is rooted in a blend of alt-country, slacker rock, and Americana, with Lenderman performing most of the instrumentation himself and keeping arrangements intentionally sparse and expressive. The records strength lies in its lyrical character portraitslonely, self-effacing, and wrywith melodies that feel unhurried yet emotionally immediate. Recorded at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville and co-produced with Alex Farrar, it further refines the aesthetic Lenderman explored on *Boat Songs* while broadening its emotional palette. The albums context within the current wave of indie rock allows Lenderman to stand out as a songwriter unafraid of humor, heartbreak, and everyday absurdity.
