DURHAM, N.C.— Indie rock darling MJ Lenderman debuts new music at Good Moon Festival after taking a brief five-month nap in a lawn chair. Fans gathered eagerly to hear his signature lazy guitar licks and deadpan vocals. The singer allegedly wrote seven new tracks while slightly unconscious in a backyard.
1. "Mowed the Lawn on NyQuil"
This track features a heavy pedal steel riff and muffled groans. Lenderman claims he recorded the vocal take while actively snoring into a cheap USB microphone.
2. "Soggy Fries at the Pilot Station"
The singer channels classic alt-country melancholy on this slow burner. He wrote the entire lyric sheet on a greasy receipt while waiting for a tow truck in rural North Carolina.
3. "Left My Cable Guy on Read"
A driving rock anthem about avoiding adult responsibilities at all costs. "MJ Lenderman debuts new music that truly honors the art of doing absolutely nothing," said Priya Vantablack, Chief Vibes Compliance Officer at TikTok.
4. "Karly Stole My Good Guitar Pick"
This up-tempo track nods to his work with indie band Wednesday. It features three minutes of feedback and a audio sample of someone lazily microwave-thawing a hot dog.
5. "I Forgot My Password to the Band Bank Account"
A tragic ballad detailing the harsh economic realities of mid-level touring. The chorus consists entirely of Lenderman reciting random four-digit PIN numbers over a distorted bassline.
6. "Slept Through the Good Moon Festival Soundcheck"
The ultimate slacker anthem served as his grand finale. He performed the entire song from a sleeping bag placed directly in front of the drum riser. At press time, MJ Lenderman debuts new music by muttering a quiet riff directly into an audience member's ear before falling asleep again.
