There’s a lovely communal moment when she forgets the lyrics to a cover of Semisonic’s Closing Time and the crowd choir helps her out. It’s a shame that her cracking drawl makes it harder to make out her words: we really need to hear lines like Pristine’s cathartic “Is there any better feeling than coming clean?”Įven below par, it’s still hard to deny the hooks and emotion in Speaking Terms, Heat Wave and the country-tinged Deep Sea. The sound level is fine, but – presumably not yet accustomed to the rigours of heavy touring – her usually honeyed vocals sound slightly hoarse. “Are my vocals OK?” Jordan asks, grinning and raising thumbs aloft as the crowd answer in the affirmative. This gig begins awkwardly, though, with the singer-guitarist making signs at the soundman for more volume from her microphone. Her crystalline guitar playing and contemporary slacker indie sound finds her somewhere between the Cranberries, Taylor Swift and the similarly emerging Sophie Allison, AKA Soccer Mommy. She sings about trends, friends, disastrous house parties, wild crushes and devastating breakups with raw candour. The Maryland-based 19-year-old has found a rich seam of songwriting in the period of upheaval as a teenager confronts adulthood.
Now I’ve got my big kitchen and I love it.L indsey Jordan AKA Snail Mail already has an acclaimed album, Lush, and is touring the world before she’s even out of her teens. Then I moved back when I was 19 with roommates in Bushwick and then to Manhattan last December by myself. There were roaches, more people living there than was legal, curtain walls and I just thought that New York was like that. I moved in right after high school with someone I knew through friends, who was the first person that talked to me about having an open room. The first time you moved to New York you ended up moving back home to your parents. Listen, off the record I'll give you a super-long list. I thought you were going to say pineapple pizza or something. I just remember doing that and being like, “If anyone records this I’ll be really upset.” That was my own fault, but I would definitely take that down because those songs are now like perfect and it sucks to have a preliminary version of them on the internet against my will. God, I would love to delete the Instagram livestreams that people recorded with my new songs in them. Is there anything else or anyone else that you would also delete from the internet given the choice? You've kind of deleted your first Sticki EP from the internet. When you need to take a break, take a break. If you're doing something that people are excited about, like, everybody wants a piece and that's not going to go away because you're looking out for yourself. Nobody could have told me that burnout was real when I was 17, but it's very real. As the new whiz kids of indie-rock, Snail Mail. The Ellicott City high school student had just recorded a raw, reverberating EP with her two childhood friends in their small-town garage, and in a few short months, it seemed like every publication, festival, and fan now knew her band’s name. Touring a lot is good for publicity, and a young and budding career, but also what’s good for a young and budding career is to be mentally healthy. In 2017, everyone wanted a piece of Lindsey Jordan. Unverified, Supported via Hereforthebands. A lot of the time when there's interest from bands that want to go on tour together, saying no doesn't make the interest go away. Guitarist and singer of Snail Mail has been pictured with a Danelectro 59 DC. I think I would just say that that is not a thing. There are so few people that care enough to have a strong opinion and I know that he has to play the songs all the time. So another thing is I can tell when he's lying to me. Usually, I just want to hear what he thinks, because I really trust his opinion and it's really easy for me to read him. I’d say Alex, our bassist, is my best friend. You write a lot of really personal songs about yourself and other people, but who is the first person you tend to play your music to? I ate a lot of it just trying to get takes of that. Keeping him away from that ice cream looked like quite a struggle.
He's just perfect and also big he looks like Winnie The Pooh. We talked about Pomeranians and they're super cute: I love a small dog.
My original concept was to get tonnes of puppies, but it was hard for us to match them with that Waspy aesthetic. It was a pretty strict interview process.
