MJ Lenderman has shared single/video “Joker Lips,” the latest track is off the multi-artist’s forthcoming album Manning Fireworks, available September 6th via ANTI-, the track follows Lenderman’s previous single “She’s Leaving You.” The video for “Joker Lips,” directed by Ben Turok, features Lenderman and The Wind performing in an overgrown field clung to the side of a mountain in Western North Carolina as plants seemingly envelop the band.

Manning Fireworks was recorded at Asheville’s Drop of Sun Studios and co-produced with frequent collaborator Alex Farrar, Lenderman plays nearly every instrument on the album, routing sadness and shame through guitars that echo the sparkle of R.E.M and the insistence of Drive-By Truckers. Writing where the poetic clarity of William Carlos Williams and the economy of Raymond Carver meet the striking imagery of Harry Crews, there are feelings of self-doubt and world weariness present, but the conditions are rendered with a precision and care that make his songs feel like short films, as Lenderman simply offers everyday anxieties and enthusiasms in uncanny ways.

Lenderman and his live band The Wind will be embarking on a North American headline tour this coming fall, including three sold-out shows in New York and back-to-back nights in Chicago and Atlanta, alongside shows all over the Southeast, Midwest, and East Coast. Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band will be supporting on all dates.
