Snail Mail – Valentine (CD)
Product Details
Lindsey Jordan was still a teenager when her 2018 debut *Lush* announced her as one of indie rock's most emotionally precise writers. *Valentine* finds her two years older and considerably more scarred, channeling the wreckage of a serious relationship into something bigger and more sonically ambitious than anyone might have predicted. The growth here is not just technical; it's the kind of leap that happens when an artist stops playing it safe.
Valentine was written and produced by Lindsey Jordan and co-produced by Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Waxahatchee). Written in 2019-2020 the album is filled with romance, heartbreak, blood, sweat and tears. The sonic leap forward can be heard from the first moments of the title track - the whispered voice and eerie synths erupting into a full-on stadium-sized adrenaline-rush of a chorus. From there it's all go - with electronic anthems, baroque FM rockers, smoldering slow-jam R&B, and heart rendering finger-picked ballads. The star of the show however is Lindsey's voice. Her vocals and words are rawer, deeper, snarlier, and more feeling than ever before.
