MJ Lenderman Begins EU/UK Tour with New Video Release
MJ Lenderman has just released a captivating new video for “Wristwatch,” a standout track from his critically acclaimed album “Manning Fireworks.” The video, directed by the renowned filmmaker Lance Bangs, offers a unique visual narrative that perfectly complements the song’s intriguing themes of loneliness and modernity. Depicting Lenderman in a pickup truck filled with basketballs and inflatable pool items, the video captures the essence of persistence and the surreal experience of crashing into low clearance overpasses—a metaphor that resonates deeply with the song’s lyrical content.
Lenderman’s latest album, released last fall on ANTI-, has received wide acclaim from the music press. Pitchfork awarded it an 8.7 and labeled it “Best New Music,” and multiple outlets have praised Lenderman as one of indie rock’s brightest stars. The Guardian highlights the album’s ability to tap into the “devastatingly human,” while MOJO describes his performance as “greatness.” These accolades have set high expectations for Lenderman’s artistic journey, and he continues to deliver.
With 2024 already proving to be a busy year for him, Lenderman recently completed a sold-out North American tour and made various high-profile television appearances, including on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and NPR’s Tiny Desk. He is set to embark on the first leg of his EU/UK tour this May, which promises to be equally successful, with multiple dates already sold out. This tour will include stops in major cities, along with his much-anticipated performance at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona.
The upcoming tour hasn’t just generated buzz; it promises exciting shows, including back-to-back performances in Amsterdam and a highlight concert at London’s Roundhouse. The combination of intimate venues and large-scale festivals will showcase Lenderman’s exceptional storytelling and engaging performance style to a broad audience.
Fans can look forward to live renditions of tracks from “Manning Fireworks.” The album has received praise for its rich storytelling and inventive songwriting, with reviews noting its blend of humor and sincerity. With each performance, Lenderman continues to redefine what it means to be an indie musician in the current landscape.
