North Carolina's MJ Lenderman has announced that his next studio album, Manning Fireworks, will be released via ANTI- on September 6th. It follows his 2022 solo breakthrough album Boat Songs and last year's live album And The Wind (Live and Loose!).
To celebrate the announcement, MJ (aka Jake Lenderman) also released the LP's lead single, “She's Leaving You,” which follows characters caught in the aftermath of a cheating scandal sparked by a midlife crisis. You can check out the Whitmer Thomas and Clay Tatum-directed video for the song here.
The Wednesday guitarist, who also collaborated on Waxahatchee's latest album, Tigers Blood, has also announced a series of shows in the UK and Europe at the end of the year – see below for where you can see him perform.
