Last year, the former Wednesday guitarist Mark Jacob Lenderman released Manning Fireworks, his breakout solo LP. It was one of our favorite albums of 2024, and it turned Lenderman into an indie-level star. “Wristwatch,” the single that arrived just before Manning Fireworks, might be the most quotable song that Lenderman has yet released. It’s also the one with the most Spotify streams. When Lenderman made his late-night solo-act debut on The Tonight Show, “Wristwatch” was the song that he played. And now, Lenderman’s got a “Wristwatch” music video.
