Snail Mail, the project of Baltimore singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan, has announced her third studio album, “Ricochet”, her first in nearly five years. It’s due out March 27th via Matador Records.
With the announcement comes lead single “Dead End”, a taste into the 90s alt rock direction of the record. “Dead End” mourns the simplicity of a suburban adolescence. Of the music video she co-directed with Elsie Richter, Jordan shares, “We shot the video for ‘Dead End’ in random places all around rural North Carolina between the hours of 5pm and 4am on one of the coldest nights of my life. The goal was to be inconspicuous with the fireworks, but someone called the cops on us.”
While Snail Mail’s earlier albums focused primarily on the trials and tribulations of young love, “Ricochet” further explores Jordan’s philosophies on mortality and identity. This record also marks Jordan’s first full release following her vocal polyps recovery.
“Ricochet” is out March 27th.
