November 5 street date. "Valentine" is the hugely anticipated follow up to Snail Mail's first full length, "Lush". "Valentine" was written and produced by 22-year-old Lindsey Jordan and co-produced by Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Waxahatchee) in 2019-2020. The album is filled with romance, heartbreak, blood, sweat and tears. But "Valentine" is poised and self-possessed, channelling anger and dejection into empowering revenge fantasies and rewriting the narrative of its own fate. Stitched throughout it is the melodrama and the camp Jordan so deftly utilizes to offset her pain. The sonic leap forward can be heard from the first moments of the title track - the whispered voice and eerie sci-fi synths erupting into a full-on stadium-sized adrenaline-rush of a chorus. From there it's all go - with digitized electronic inflected anthems, swooning baroque FM rockers, smouldering slow-jam R&B, and some of the most gorgeous and heart-rending finger-picked guitar ballads this side of Elliott Smith. The star of the show however is Lindsey's voice - no longer the prodigal wunderkind, her vocals and words are rawer, deeper, snarlier and more feeling than ever before.

November 3 street date. Marking the two year anniversary of the release of her critically acclaimed album "Valentine", Snail Mail (Lindsey Jordan) presents the "Valentine Demos" EP. Consisting of five early stripped-down recordings, this 45rpm black vinyl 12" includes "Adore You" (a working title for "Valentine"), "Headlock", "c. et al.", and "Automate", along with the previously unreleased "Easy Thing". Jordan says: "Without further ado, here are the demo versions of some of the songs that would become integral to the making of "Valentine". A little over three years ago, holed up at my parents' house in Maryland, with just a minilogue synth, an interface, a mic, and a guitar, I started working on writing my second full length record. I prefer some of the demos to what actually came out on the record because of how intimate and solitary the process was. You can kind of hear me crying in one of them. Maybe two actually haha".
