“Almost overnight, MJ Lenderman has gone from underground Asheville concern to cult indie obsession. His album Boat Songs – think Neil Young burning up a garage or Jason Molina beholding the world from a ranch – blew up in 2022; he has spent the last year touring with Wednesday, the band led by his girlfriend Karly Hartzman; and 2024 promises his inevitable wider breakthrough, plus a high-profile (but still TBA) collaborative role on one of the year’s most anticipated indie rock records. It’s well deserved. Lenderman puts a new spin on southern rock with his blissful knack for guitar work that’s gnarled yet breezy, and a lyrical style that is as sincere as it is sardonic, as mythic as it is mundane, as he finds the beauty in frailty.”
