MJ Lenderman presents his new single “Knockin”
Initially appearing on a self-recorded EP, “Knockin” was written between the recording and release of Lenderman’s 2022 breakthrough Boat Songs.
The newly recorded rendition of “Knockin” was recorded at Drop of Sun Studios. Alongside “Rudolph", which was released last month.
Of “Knockin” Lenderman adds: “I was spending a lot of time watching John Daly videos and came across a rendition he does of Dylan’s "Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door". Daly’s version includes an extra verse about golfing. My "Knockin" became a staple of the MJ Lenderman & The Wind live set and it felt like a good idea to re-record it professionally.
“Knockin” is out now. The track is the B-side to a forthcoming 7-inch single, which can be pre-ordered now and will be out in later this year.
