MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks

MJ Lenderman – Fireworks (2021)

Raw, witty, and unpolished in the best way, Fireworks is the breakthrough album from Asheville-based songwriter MJ Lenderman. With sharp storytelling, twangy guitars, and lo-fi charm, the record moves between humor and heartbreak—painting vivid pictures of small-town life and its contradictions.

Songs like Someone Get the Grill Out of the Rain, Hangover Game, and Catholic Priest capture Lenderman’s knack for turning everyday absurdities into poignant, unforgettable songs. Often compared to the likes of Silver Jews and Neil Young, he carves out his own space in indie rock with an honesty that’s both biting and tender.

A must-have for fans of modern indie, alt-country, and songwriters who know how to find beauty in the mess.
