found out about him sometime in august, but with the release of Manning Fireworks, it all just clicked. He has climbed to my top 5 artists this year and the album has been out for less than a month.
I finally got “MJ Lenderman: Manning Fireworks” after a three (3) month wait from the public library. This album was so frequently rec’d when I joined PI.FYI in January that I knew it would be good. His music reminds me of seeing Ben Kweller play in tiny raucous venues as a teenager. Every single song is a no-skip. Was pumped to add it to my iPod knowing this record is gonna be in heavy rotation this spring.
