  Lenderman turns aimlessness and emotional confusion into something weirdly comforting throughout Boat Songs. The record blends ragged guitar solos, alt-country textures, and deadpan humor without sounding self-consciously “indie.” “Hangover Game” and “Tastes Just Like It Costs” capture his gift for mixing absurd detail with genuine sadness. The performances feel loose and unhurried, but the songwriting underneath is incredibly precise. There’s warmth in the album’s imperfections and uncertainty. It sounds like someone trying to laugh without fully escaping disappointment.
