Snail Mail - Valentine

Released 5th November 2021.

On her 2018 debut albumLush, seventeen-year-old Lindsey Jordan sang Im
in full control / Im not lost / Even when its love / Even when its not. Her natural
ability to be many things at once resonated with a lot of people. The contradiction of
confidence and vulnerability, power and delicacy, had the impact of a wrecking ball
when put to tape. It was an impressive and unequivocal career-making moment for
Jordan.

OnValentine, her sophomore album out November 5th on Matador, Lindsey
solidifies and defines this trajectory in a blaze of glory. In 10 songs, written over
2019-2020 by Jordan alone, we are taken on an adrenalizing odyssey of genuine
originality in an era in which 'indie' music has been reduced to gentle, homogenous
pop composed mostly by ghost writers.Made with careful precision,Valentineshows
