Snail Mail shares new video "Heat Wave"

Snail Mail shares new single and accompanying video “Heat Wave,” taken from her forthcoming debut album Lush, out June 8th on Matador Records. “I’m feeling low / I’m not into sometimes,” laments 18-year-old songwriter and guitar virtuoso Lindsey Jordan in this show-stopping tour-de-force of infectious and affecting guitar pop.  The video, directed by Brandon Herman, showcases Jordan’s ice hockey skills, a throwback to her days on the high-school team.  “I hadn’t actually been on skates since I quit the high school team junior year, so immediately jumping into shooting this was equal parts difficult and super fun,” Jordan says.
Throughout Lush, Jordan’s clear and powerful voice, an acute sense of pacing, and razor-sharp writing cut through the chaos and messiness of growing up: the passing trends, the awkward house parties, the sick-to-your-stomach crushes and the heart-wrenching breakups. Jordan’s most masterful skill is in crafting tension, working with muted melodrama that builds and never quite breaks, stretching out over moody rockers and soft-burning hooks, making for visceral slow-releases that stick under the skin.
