Snail Mail - "Dead End"
Photo by Daria Kobayashi Ritch
It's been five long years since we've had a new album from Snail Mail, but luckily the drought is over! Lindsey Jordan's musical project is back with a new single and a new album due out in March. "Dead End" is a gorgeous mixture of indie rock and pop, which is kind of our jam around here. As melodic and poppy as the song is, there is enough of a chugging guitar to keep it in the rock genre. This is the indie rock goes pop genre at its absolute finest, which is what we've come to expect from Snail Mail. If anything, Jordan took the last five years to up her songwriting game, and "Dead End" may end up being considered one of her best. Welcome back, Snail Mail! We're thrilled to have you.
Lindsey Jordan says of her new video:
“We shot the video for ‘Dead End’ in random places all around rural North Carolina between the hours of 5pm and 4am on one of the coldest nights of my life. The goal was to be inconspicuous with the fireworks, but someone called the cops on us.”
