Besides the newly released single, ‘Manning Fireworks’ has also been preceded by the single ‘Rudolph’, and other tracks like ‘Joker Lips’ and ‘Wristwatch’, which have already been performed live.
Per a press release, ‘Manning Fireworks’ sees Lenderman deal with the success of his previous album ‘Boat Songs’: “Lenderman used that pressure to ask himself what kind of musician he wanted to be — one who could sort through his sea of cultural jetsam and one-liners to say something real about himself and his world, to figure out how he fits into all this mess.”
The track list for MJ Lenderman’s ‘Manning Fireworks’ is:
1. Manning Fireworks
2. Joker Lips
3. Rudolph
4. Wristwatch
5. She’s Leaving You
6. Rip Torn
7. You Don’t Know The Shape I’m In
8. On My Knees
9. Bark At The Moon
The upcoming record – his fourth – follows on from the three studio records that the indie guitarist has already released as a solo act: ‘MJ Lenderman’ (2019), ‘Ghost of Your Guitar Solo’ (2021) and ‘Boat Songs’ (2022). Last year, he released the live album ‘And the Wind (Live and Loose!)’.
