The anatomy of an MJ record might go something like this: warped pedal steels and skuzzed out guitar; crackin' a cold one with some buds; a voice reminiscent of the high-lonesome warble of a choirboy.
Guttering‘s six self-recorded tracks present some of the best aspects of both artists’ work, setting sighing harmonies against dense power chords and occasionally seasoning the mix with some twangy lead guitar.
Guttering; the six-track 2021 EP from MJ Lenderman & Wednesday; pressed to vinyl for the first time; lo-fi guitars, hushed harmonies and grainy shoegaze textures on black vinyl.
Lenderman describes the album as his most 'polished' sound to date, built around songs that 'chase fulfillment and happiness'whether that means buying a boat.
