It’s been a minute since Snail Mail came out Lush, one of the best debuts of an artist in recent memory. After a tough tour behind this record, Lindsey Jordan came out of the spotlight. The album’s official biography (written by Waxahatchee’s friend and bandmate Katie Crutchfield) notes that Jordan went to a rehab center in Arizona, where he began outlining the form of his follow-up despite not having access to his instruments. Earlier this year, Jordan went to Durham, North Carolina, and recorded his new album with Brad Cook in his studio. And today he officially announces his second LP, Valentine’s day, which will be released on November 5th.
“I wanted to dedicate as much time as possible to this record to make sure I was happy with all the details before releasing them all,” Jordan said in a press release. “To refer to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine’s day he is my son! ”
The album’s presentation is its opening track and title, which is based on a conducting chorus emitted in Jordan’s distinctive murmur: “So why did you want to erase me? / Honey, Valentine / You’ll always know where you’ll find me / When you change your mind. “It comes with a deliciously violent video directed by Josh Coll, in which Jordan’s jealousy gets the most out of her while she’s dressed in an elegant dress.
“It was so rewarding to create this video with the great Josh Coll! Seeing some perverse images of my head turned into this magnificent story, and finally a tangible visual was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, “Jordan said.” We connected for a mutual interest in the intersection. between terror and devastating beauty. But also Tim and Eric, and watery ginger water, which I had to drink a shocking amount in those drink bombing scenes. “
