About Mj Lenderman
Jake Lenderman operates in two complementary worlds: his MJ Lenderman solo work and his role as guitarist for the Asheville shoegaze/alt-country outfit Wednesday. The solo project strips things back to essentials, letting sparse arrangements and honest songwriting carry the weight. His approach reflects the DIY ethos of K Records and the alt-country tradition, favoring emotional directness over polish.
The MJ Lenderman catalog spans EPs and full-length releases that showcase his range across lo-fi home recordings and more considered studio work. Titles like Boat Songs and Manning Fireworks sit alongside collaborative recordings and live documents, each offering different angles on his songwriting. As a guitarist and vocalist, Lenderman brings a particular sensitivity to arrangement, whether working alone or within Wednesday's fuller sound.
The Groove Hunter currently tracks 6 editions across MJ Lenderman's vinyl discography, including pressings of Boat Songs, AMY Boat Songs & Ghost Of Your Guitar Solo Record Set, And the Wind Loose!, and the recent Record Store Day 2025 pressing And the Wind (Live and Loose!).
