Earlier this year, the North Carolina-based singer, songwriter, and musician MJ Lenderman released one of 2024’s most celebrated records, Manning Fireworks, effectively establishing him as “a bright young star in the indie rock firmament.” (NPR Music).
In conjunction with the tour announcement, MJ Lenderman releases a video for Manning Fireworks standout “You Don’t Know The Shape I’m In,” which “boasts one of his prettiest, dreamiest, and most surprising arrangements [on the album]” (Hearing Things).
The video was created by Chuck Shreve and Angel James who state, “A defective model struggles to make sense of the world he’s born into. Ultimately, this is our attempt at a 1:1 remake of Toy Story 2.”
Recorded at Asheville’s Drop of Sun Studios and co-produced with frequent collaborator Alex Farrar, Manning Fireworks is an instant classic of an LP and a remarkable development in Lenderman’s story as an incisive singer songwriter, whose propensity for humour always points to some uneasy, disorienting darkness. The punchlines from his previous albums are still here, as are the rusted-wire guitar solos that have made him a favorite for indie rock fans looking for an emerging guitar hero. Executed with a precision and care that make his songs feel like short films, Lenderman simply offers everyday anxieties and enthusiasms in uncanny ways.
