Batlimore’s Snail Mail Turns It Up

Snail Mail’s new album Lush is a throwback to great indie rock guitar albums of the past, with debts to Pavement, Liz Phair, and a little bit of Fiona Apple.

Snail Mail is the project of Lindsay Jordan, a wunderkind on the indie circuit, who is being hoisted as one of the future voices of the genre. Jordan is only 19 years old – Lush is her first full-length, just out on Matador. 

Recently graduated from high school, the Baltimore-area musician can be a devastatingly powerful songwriter, delivering explosive guitar lines like on “Heat Wave”. 

She’ll be playing Larimer Lounge on June 20.
