Indie rock musician MJ Lenderman has recently debuted three new songs. Two were performed in Athens, Georgia, on Wednesday, and a third appeared in a video released today from The Adam Friedland Show.
New Music and Performances
Lenderman’s appearance on the YouTube talk show began with a solo cover of Warren Zevon’s “The French Inhaler.” Host Adam Friedland announced a second performance would be released in a bonus video, which has now been published.
The new song, beginning around the 3:45 mark in the video, is described as a minor-key ballad influenced by Jason Molina, but with a more playful tone. Lyrics include, “I still stand the tallboy cans by the trash for you/ What’s a stay-at-home cowboy to do/ But put on yesterday’s clothes/ And set out to roam the living room alone?”
Lenderman is currently preparing for a co-headlining tour with Waxahatchee beginning in April, followed by dates opening for Zach Bryan this summer.
