Snail Mail Announces 2022 Tour Dates And Second LP 'Valentine', Shares Title Track

Snail Mail, aka Lindsey Jordan, has announced her second album and a supporting tour.
'Valentine' will arrive on November 5 via Matador and feature the newly shared title track, which builds from a haunting, synthy start to a driving, anthemic chorus. It comes paired with a wild, gory period drama-themed video directed by Josh Coll.
Discussing the record, Jordan said: "I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y'all. Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine is my child!"
Commenting on the clip, she added:
"It was so rewarding concocting this video alongside the brilliant Josh Coll! Watching a few perverse images in my head metamorphose into this gorgeous storyline and eventually into a tangible visual was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. We connected over a mutual interest in the intersection between terror and devastating beauty. But also Tim and Eric and watered down ginger ale, which I had to drink a shocking amount of in those drink-bombing scenes."
Penned by the 22-year-old in 2019 and 2020, and co-produced alongside Brad Cook behind the control desk in Durham, North Carolina, the follow-up to 2018's 'Lush' will arrive ahead of a huge tour, which kicks off in the US on November 27.
In February, she'll jet to the UK for a handful of dates, followed by stops in major European cities, returning stateside for further gigs in the spring. Head here for a full list of international dates. Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST on September 22.
