Snail Mail announces new LP 'Valentine,' 2021-2022 tour (watch video for title track)

September 15, 2021

Vinyl pre-orders for Snail Mail’s new album available in our store.

Snail Mail has announced a new album, Valentine. It’s the follow up to her 2019 debut Lush, and it’s due out on November 5 via Matador (vinyl pre-order). “I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all,” Lindsey Jordan says. “Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine is my child!” She wrote the album between 2019 and 2020, and co-produced it with Brad Cook (Megafaun, Bon Iver, etc).

The first single is the title track, which gets off to a synthy, slightly eerie start before exploding into a hard-hitting chorus. It’s accompanied by a video directed by former Foxing member Josh Coll featuring period costumes and gore. Watch it below.

Along with her new album, Snail Mail is also announcing a huge tour. It beings this November and December with a US leg, then picks back up in February and March of 2022 with dates in Europe and the UK. There’s another North American leg beginning in April and running into May. Spencer., Hotline TNT, Joy Again, and The Goon Sax each open select shows, and you can see all dates below.

There’s an Asbury Park, NJ show this year at The Stone Pony on December 18 with Spencer. and Hotline TNT (tickets), a NYC show in 2022 at Kings Theatre on April 7 with Joy Again (tickets), and an LA show at Hollywood Palladium on April 27 with The Goon Sax (tickets). Tickets to all dates go on sale Friday 9/17 at 10 AM local time.
