Dear Life Records and Dinked are proud to present a limited edition deluxe re-press of MJ Lenderman's breakout album Boat Songs (DLR031). A little over three years after its release, Boat Songs is now commonly read as the keystone to the 2020s renaissance of alt-country (or whatever you want to call it), and features some of his most enduring hits and live set staples.
"The thing about loving your own frailties is that it deepens your ability to love the rest of it, too. Lenderman renders suffering and joy in the same gentle, unhurried deadpan, dragging all those heightened feelings back down to the ground where they can sprout." - Pitchfork
"There are few eternal truths in this world, but drinking beer with your buddies is always a good time. Asheville's MJ Lenderman understands this. His third LP Boat Songs doesn't get bogged down with intellectualism or make apologies for its love of Southern ephemera. These 10 tracks of countrified indie rock sound primed to soundtrack plenty of beer-battered bull sessions." - Flood Magazine.
