The record is being billed as Lindsey Jordan’s most mature work to date, with fresh US tour dates now confirmed.

Snail Mail has revealed a new album titled ‘Ricochet’, and you can hear the ’90s inspired lead single ‘Dead End’ below.

The upcoming release will be Lindsey Jordan’s third full length album under the Snail Mail name. It is scheduled to arrive on March 27 via Matador, with pre orders available now.

The album also marks Jordan’s first new full length release in five years. A press release describes it as carrying “a new sense of clarity, control and maturity throughout compared to her earlier releases”. While previous material focused on the “uncertainty of young love”, this record takes a “deeper approach”, centring on ideas of time, mortality and loss.

The first preview of the 11 track album arrives today January 21 in the form of the hazy, grunge leaning single ‘Dead End’.

The track opens with a swirling and forceful guitar riff, pairing a rough edged instrumental backdrop with Jordan’s shimmering vocal delivery. “Woke up thinking about you / Tried calling but I couldn’t get through / Guess we got our own shit to do / But these days I don’t recognise you,” she sings, before launching into the explosive chorus.

“Hours we’d spend / Parked at the dead end / You’re burned in my heart, old friend / Tell me, can’t you even look me in my eyes?”

Looking at the album as a whole, Jordan wrote the material during a time of major personal transition, including a move from New York City to North Carolina and confronting questions she had previously avoided, particularly what comes after death.

Sonically, the record draws from the brighter side of ’90s alternative rock, with gentle references to Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Catherine Wheel and Ivy.

The album also follows Jordan undergoing surgery for vocal polyps and completing extensive speech therapy ahead of the 2021 ‘Valentine’ tour, a process that left her feeling more “refreshing, trusting, and comfortable” with her voice moving forward.

“I’ve never done this before, but I wrote all of the instrumentals and vocal melodies on the piano or guitar, and then I filled in the lyrics all at once over a year,” she explained, noting that the approach allowed her more space to develop broader melodies.

Later this year, Snail Mail will return to the UK for a headline show at London’s Electric Ballroom on June 25. She has also announced a North American tour beginning in the spring, starting in Milwaukee on April 10 and visiting Brooklyn, Los Angeles and other cities in the weeks that follow.

Last year, Snail Mail toured with Dinosaur Jr. throughout the summer, though the band were forced to pull out of the final three dates due to a health issue affecting frontman J. Mascis.

Her most recent album, 2021’s ‘Valentine’, received a five star review from NME, with El Hunt writing: “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,” the review continued.
