In Communion With MJ Lenderman | Defector
Briefly

Lenderman seemed to channel a cathartic connection with the audience, particularly through the lyrics "You don't know the shape I'm in," resonating deeply post-hurricane devastation.
His on-stage demeanor was subdued, akin to Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith, embodying a lo-fi aesthetic that left the crowd introspective rather than interactive.
Despite being the figurehead, Lenderman opted for a less assertive presence, showcasing a quiet intensity that captivated those present at the Montreal show.
The intimate nature of the performance at the Fairmount Theatre highlighted Lenderman’s emotional resonance, making it a fitting environment for his introspective melodies.
