Snail Mail

1 festival played

Lindsey Jordan's guitar playing is the real draw — clean, unhurried lines under lyrics about wanting more than you got.

Snail Mail is the project of Lindsey Jordan, a songwriter and guitarist who grew up in Ellicott City, Maryland, and began releasing music while still in high school. Her work sits in the indie rock and lo-fi tradition, built around clean electric guitar lines, unhurried tempos and a plainspoken vocal delivery. The songs tend to deal with longing, jealousy and the small humiliations of young relationships, delivered without much ornamentation. Jordan's guitar playing — melodic, largely unprocessed and closer to interlocking counterpoint than power chords — is the element most often singled out in writing about the project.
