MJ Lenderman Announces New Album and EU/UK Tour

North Carolina’s MJ Lenderman to release Manning Fireworks on September 6th, followed by a European/UK tour in November.

MJ Lenderman, the acclaimed North Carolina-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist, has announced the release of his latest album, Manning Fireworks set to drop on September 6th via ANTI- Records. Accompanying this announcement is the release of the lead single and music video, “She’s Leaving You,” directed by Whitmer Thomas and Clay Tatum.

Lenderman, praised for his unique blend of southern rock and insightful lyrics, brings a fresh perspective with his new album. The Guardian describes his style as “blissful” and “gnarled yet breezy,” combining sincerity with a sardonic touch. Stereogum hails him as on the cusp of rock stardom, while GQ highlights the charm and relatability of his music.

Manning Fireworks follows Lenderman’s 2022 breakthrough album Boat Songs and last year’s live album, "And the Wind (Live and Loose!)," both of which solidified his status in the indie rock scene. The new album promises to deliver the same incisive wit and raw guitar work that fans have come to love, with a newfound sincerity and clarity.

The lead single, “She’s Leaving You,” portrays a middle-aged man’s midlife crisis with a mix of humor and melancholy, making it a standout anthem. The music video blends influences from iconic performances and films, creating a visually compelling experience.

In support of Manning Fireworks MJ Lenderman will embark on a European and UK tour this November. The tour kicks off in Berlin on November 11th and includes stops in Hamburg, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, Manchester, Leeds, and Dublin.
