Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Cheryl Waters, host of the Midday Show on KEXP, is "Rudolph" by MJ Lenderman, a 2023 single on ANTI-.
When not playing guitar in the band Wednesday, Asheville, North Carolina-based singer/songwriter MJ Lenderman has a solo project on the side. Last year, ANTI- Records released his solo LP, Boat Songs.
Today's Song of the Day is the first track he's shared since the release of that album. "I had been sitting on the guitar part for a long time and slowly worked out the song whenever I could in between tours in 2022," the busy musician explained in a press release. "I finished the lyrics with my friend one late night after a Wednesday gig in Atlanta."
MJ Lenderman will be performing at this year's THING Fest, August 25-27 in Fort Worden, WA. More details here.
