Product 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 humour always points to some uneasy, disorienting darkness. The punchlines are still here, as are the rusted-wire guitar solos that have made Lenderman a favourite 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.

    Hadn’t heard of this guy until a couple of weeks ago but have fallen in love with this album since then. Enjoyed it enough to get the vinyl - no regrets at all, cracking album.

    A modern classic of countrified, grungy American indie-rock. Stand out track is ‘On My Knees’ a loose, swaggering slice of Neil Young and Crazy Horse-style rock.

    Asheville singer-songwriter’s fourth album is witty and sincere, full of scathing caricatures and loneliness and ballooned by empathy, bruised egos and self-destruction. Warped pedal steels and rusted-wire guitar solos provide the backdrop to his high-lonesome warble and lo-fi home recording. A songwriter clearly finding his voice on this Sad-Guy Indie-Rock Country-Grunge gem.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Una delle rivelazione dell'anno
    Reviewed in Italy on 21 October 2024
    A volte è sorprendente avvicinarsi a musicisti di cui non si sa nulla, neppure dei gruppo in cui hanno precedentemente suonato, semplicemente attratti da uno o due brani ascoltati on line o da una buona recensione. Non sempre, poi, le cose finiscono bene, ma non è il caso di questo piccolo gioiello di MJ Lenderman, all'anagrafe Mark Jacob, appena 25enne. Il ragazzo si è fatto da solo, è cresciuto lentamente, autoproducendosi, suonando nei Wednesday e frequentando il fertile terreno musicale della North Carolina, zona Asheville, respirando un po' tutte le influenze possibili. "Manning Fireworks" che lo sta proiettando sulla bocca di tutti, da Rolling Stone in giù, è il quinto lavoro e mostra una notevole originalità: i nove pezzi, per solo mezz'ora di musica (peccato), sono sufficienti per non riuscire a catalogarlo, perché, sì, ci sono riferimenti alt-country (Son Volt, Jay Farrar, Whiskeytown, in "Rip Torn", Wilco e Uncle Tupelo, chiaramente), ma c'è anche l'indie rock anni novanta, le grandinate di chitarre elettriche che flirtano con l'organo e c'è la sua voce decadente, triste, che, attenzione!, deve piacere, altrimenti tutto potrebbe infrangersi inevitabilmente. E poi ci sono le canzoni, belle, dai testi surreali, dall'acustica e solitaria "Manning Fireworks", ai gioielli alt-country "Joker Lips" e "Rip Torn", alle ballate come "Wrist Watch" o "On My Knees", per finire con "Bark At The Moon", tre minuti di canzone e sette minuti di "drone" music. Non sono sicuro che sia tutto a fuoco, è un disco da ascoltare e riascoltare, ma sono sicuro che "Manning" sia un gran bel lavoro, che Lenderman sia una voce nuova e interessante, al netto dell'essere già al quinto disco. Ascoltatelo, prima, ma lasciatevi affascinare.
