Devastating. so emotionally honest. stunning instrumentals. Listened to this a lot 2 augusts ago and again now bc I’m venturing into a new known unknown again. Always thought August is the Sunday of summer and feel like this album captures that lethargic oppressive heat that is always ushering in change tickled with a melancholic ending, the reminder of time passing, that your childhood is another summer behind you. A sigh instead of a sob. Only 2 songs are shorter than 6 minutes.

obsessed with the album, but in particular You Don't Know The Shape I'm In which is a gut-wrenching follow up to You Are Every Girl To Me from his previous album

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.

Believing the rest of your life can start today (but not succumbing to the weight of that, which I’ve yet to figure out how to do).

Whatever man some more immediate version of me thought it was apt at the time. I love getting older cause past versions of me keep getting younger. I can’t hold it against them I was so young then! just a rapscallion
