Snail Mail – ‘Valentine’ review: a beautiful progression from her influential debut

Lindsey Jordan's songwriting is astute as ever, and her exploration of love here is set to a rich palette of explorative strings and synths

“Expertly curated, every single song in ‘Valentine’s relatively restrained 10-song tracklist feels like a fully-realised gem. As a songwriter, Jordan continues to cut straight through to the messy, conflicted, hopelessly infatuated guts of life. It’s a rare skill to pull it off so flawlessly in a signature track or two – let alone across the space of two concise records.” NME shares their five-star review of Snail Mail’s “Valentine,” out Friday.
