“‘Valentine 'retains the exquisite vulnerability that made Snail Mail’s first record so compelling, but Jordan’s sound is more forceful, her touchstones more varied, her writing more toned. On Lush, she explored the expressive but limited possibilities of a three-piece rock band; on Valentine, along with co-producer Brad Cook (Indigo De Souza, Waxahatchee), she flirts with pop—sharpening her hooks, reaching for the synths and strings. Where parts of Lush revealed themselves slowly, saving their secrets for intent listening, Valentine is more immediate, grabbing your gaze and refusing to let go for 32 straight minutes.”

“People know when music has been made that hasn’t been too fussed over. It’s so easy when people are working on computers these days, you can line everything up and see that when you copy and paste, it’s exactly right. But there’s something about accidents and real performances that makes the hairs on the back of their neck stand up.” Spoon’s Britt Daniel discusses the making of “Lucifer on the Sofa” with Pitchfork.
