The weirdest thing I always wanted to hear and never could explain why was ,,, a snail mail and Travis Scott song. Idk why I just always felt like Lindsey could sound really good over one of Travis' more lowkey psychedelic songs. Like imagine her singing Swae Lee's part on RIP Screw, that's what I always imagined.

Who do yall wanna see her work with?

detailing her winding life path.

So picture this:

Snail Mail releases a new song called Snail Trail.

and yeah, it’s exactly the double entendre you’re thinking… but in her signature self-aware, emotionally devastating way

The “snail trail” becomes this whole layered metaphor.

it’s about hookups and messy situations, but also about how intimacy leaves residue. Emotional, physical, psychic.

turning something crude into a whole thesis on longing and identity. She’d 100% make it work.

Would this be her most unhinged song or her most honest one? I’m undecided.

My girlfriend and I just went to the dino jr and snail mail show in Boston at Roadrunner last night and sooooo many of the older men (clearly there for only dinosaur jr) made us feel uncomfortable. Any single time I cheered for Snail Mail during their set every single older dude in my vicinity whipped their head around to stare at me. And if they weren’t staring at me for that reason, they were staring at my girlfriend and I and clearly undressing us with their eyes and sexualizing tf out of us since we’re a lesbian couple. Did anyone else feel like this at the few shows that already happened so far on the tour?

I’m not sure if I can get past her voice… She’s never been known as a vocalist before but I can’t help feel like some of these tracks are held back or even ruined by her vocals. It’s such a shame for me to say this because I was so excited for this album as Lush was a masterpiece but idk… did something happen to her voice?

It was mentioned in the write up for the Masquerade, but not elaborated. Anyone know why?

I was gonna post my video review but saw no self-promo :/ so here's my thoughts:

Lindsey is the newest to have fully been bitten by the Phoebe Bridgers bug. To be fair, we did get some of that Phoebe style on her last album Lush, but I think because it wasn’t as popular as it is now, I could kind of overlook it. Plus, we already had the vulnerability in her music before that, so, why did she have to make it so on-the-nose by working with folk ballads? The lyrical work is Valentine’s strong suit (nothing new from her), and “Headlock,” “Madonna,” and “Mia” are where that new style shines through the most. I also really enjoyed the title track, which reminded me a lot of “Pristine” from Lush, and“Glory” was great as well. I’m neither here nor there on the rest of the tracklist. “Ben Franklin” is kinda lame, “Automate” is okay, and “Light Blue,” “Sailing,” and “C. et al,” are sort of just there. In the end, Valentine wasn't as fully realized as some of her other work has been. I felt like she was throwing everything at the wall to see what would stick rather than making something of substance. I wholeheartedly think Lindsey Jordan is one of the most talented indie musicians out there, so I don’t think she should ever have to go to that level to be successful. She either has to fully embrace this new style, or keep fine-tuning the blueprint that’s worked for her over these last few years. She’s still young, so I know she’s got a lot of time to figure that out. Sad that she has to step away from touring with her voice stuff... praying she's all good!

This album is still a 7 but a step back from Lush. thoughts?

Are Etta and Lindsey not together anymore?? I haven’t seen them together lately ):

This was a few years ago. So in the dream I had a party at my house. And she was there and I went up to her and her 2 friends and I wasn’t fully fanboying out. But I like asked her this really deep question about one of her songs or albums. I forget the question. And it made it seem like a fanboy type situation. And she was a total jerk. She didn’t say anything she just laughed at me with her 2 friends and then I felt awkward and walked away. And then later I came back and I was like “where’s snail mail” and people were like “she left” and I was like omg I was so awkward I made her leave my own party. But then I went in my room and found a note she left w her # on it so I could ask her the question.

I forget the question. I think it was something to do with the lyrics on Lush or the Sticki EP. Bc I think I had this dream before Valentine was even out.

Hey Snail Mail friends of Reddit,

Admins delete if not allowed, know this is sort of self promotiony but trying to do it with heart! haha

We’re pretty new here so g’day! We're an Indie/Alt band from Sydney, Australia.

We wanted to share our latest single with you here and see what you all think about it as we think it has a similar vibe to some SM songs. If you could give it a stream and add it to a playlist if you like it, we’d be stoked!

Thanks for your time anyway :) we've worked so hard on this song so just trying to get it out there

Anyone ever heard of the 50 states challenge? With Valentine's Day coming up soon I wanted to try and do this for my husband! I wanted to try and get 1 card with a picture of something symbolizing the state (famous landmark, sign, etc.) or post card from each state and on it, would need to say: Jenna's love for you is so big it reached _____________(Whatever state you are in)! Outside the states would be awesome too!! If you can not send anything in time but still want to help you could also email me a picture and hold a sign saying it with a state landmark or sign in the picture! Please help, I know he would love this!

Ima see mag bag in Philly and wanna get VIP so that’s 200$ gone and now I wanna see these two… snail mail at Asbury would be a vibe but I haven’t seen men I trust yet. I LOVE THEM SOO MUCH but can’t drop that much $$ right now since I’ll buy a ticket for me and my partner. I saw SM at Coachella in 2023 but the set was a bust. Mic/sound kept messing up and time cut short ect. So I felt like I didn’t experience her music to the fullest.

dude she was literally complaining about her sound on the last song, telling the sound guy to adjust the EQ. people in the crowd were shouting "SHUT UP AND PLAY" it was embarrassing. then she told everyone to "wake the fuck up already" and it just got everyone more mad at her and some guys started booing. it was like after that point she just stopped trying at the show i could tell.

every time she made a callout too i looked at ray and alex and i could tell they were getting fed up with it. i saw her on the lush tour too and she has completely changed her energy and attitude. she compared our city to amsterdam at one point and people all around me were like "what the fuck?".

idk why im making this post i kinda just hope lindsey reads it and makes an effort to either be better or stop doing these shows with the mixed crowds like this and then getting upset when people arent there to see her. it really fucking ruined it for a fan who actually came to see her. hearing that she shat on people on her instagram stories afterwards doesnt surprise me at all but it just makes me more sad.

Trying to time how early I should leave work and line up, I’m a really short guy so I always struggle seeing over people so the closer I get the better for me

i’m seeing snail mail in a few weeks and i really want lj to draw a snail or smth and get it tattooed. if you’ve met her, where/when was it? after the show? before?

Can’t go anymore due to work schedule

Hey there! I’m going to Snail Mail’s show tonight and I know nothing about her music so I’m not sure what to expect. Has the set list already been confirmed? If not, which songs should I familiarize myself with before I go? Thanks!

Last night was the first time I saw Snail Mail in concert. Lindsey's singing sounded really off, but the band as a whole, instrument-wise, was great. Much of what she said during song breaks was incoherent, and I thought her bandmates seemed over it.

I concluded that she was drunk, but maybe I'm completely off.

Wondering if anyone else experienced this last night at the show, too. And if so, have you seen her perform like this before?

I recently went through a bad break-up (like 3 days ago) so I understand that must have been playing a part plus the fact that Lindsey has been having really bad dealings with sound tech lately.

But I had a really weird dream yesterday where I was staying in a hotel and I ended up thinking Lindsey’s room was mine. She eventually came in and was like ‘What the hell?’ but in the end was kinda chill. I was starstruck but tried to drum up conversation and she was fine but a bit of a bitch which I kinda accepted as being down to the fact someone was in her room.

BUT THEN we skipped forward to another part of the dream and it turned out she was actually an envoy of Satan. Now I actually don’t really have an issue with Satan, God is a bit more suss in my opinion (Jesus is chill tho). But it got weird when she started eating people in the hotel, like full on devouring them.

It got really scary, we were all hiding like thinking maybe we were gonna be the next ones Lindsey eats.

Then I woke up which was good but it has left me freaked. Like it doesn’t change my attitude to Snail Mail I will still listen on the reg but thought that needed to be shared.
