Coming soon
Snail Mail returns with details of third album ‘Ricochet’
It’ll be Lindsey Jordan’s first LP in five years.

Snail Mail is back, having just announced that her next album ‘Ricochet’ will be arriving on 27th March via Matador Records. The long-awaited follow up to 2021’s ‘Valentine’, this third outing promises to be a more mature, deeper affair that finds her contemplating big questions of mortality and the inevitable passage of time.
It was written over a period of personal turbulence for the project’s Lindsey Jordan, who underwent vocal surgery and speech therapy in 2021, and then made the move from New York to North Carolina. As such, the record is also characterised by subtle but notable shifts; here, she adds expansive arrangements and strings into the mix, and it’s the first Snail Mail release not to feature Lindsey on the cover, too.
Our introduction to ‘Ricochet’ comes by way of grungy lead single ‘Dead End’ (out now), the video for which was shot, in Lindsey’s words, “in random places all around rural North Carolina between the hours of 5pm and 4am on one of the coldest nights of my life”. Continuing, she recalls: “The goal was to be inconspicuous with the fireworks, but someone called the cops on us.”
Revisit our review of ‘Valentine’ and check out the official video for ‘Dead End’ below.
