MJ Lenderman's 'Manning Fireworks'
has become every indie-rock fan’s favorite dude — the Craig Finn or Stephen Malkmus or Jeff Tweedy of the mid-2020s. He plays guitar in the great North Carolina band piling offhanded, grimy noise on wry, laconic bangers and moaners like “Hangover Game” and “Tastes Just Like It Costs.
Hapless, emotionally stunted men like that show up in pretty much every song here, and he tells their stories with homespun irony and droll empathy. On “Wristwatch,” he goes from dumpy brags to vague menace . On the 10-minute closer, “Bark at the Moon,” the guy in the song is deep in his room playing the titular Ozzy Osbourne classic on as the world leaves him behind.
