Manning Fireworks is Lenderman's fourth solo record, one that finds him delving into the folkier territories of his masterful oeuvre. He pulls back a little on the sonic explosions of his previous solo releases to hone in on honest expressions of devotion while maintaining his wit and guile. 

On his third full length release Boat Songs, Lenderman shows off a strong wit, mixing in pop culture references to his songs, adding a strength and tenderness when called for. This record has a ramshackle and loose feel to it that is warm and welcoming with a bunch of enchanting twists, revealing a bountiful of pleasures within each song.
