Snail Mail (Lindsey Jordan) recently announced the November 5th release of her new album Valentine via Matador. Today, she shares a new single “Ben Franklin,” along with a companion music video directed by Josh Coll. Lindsey shares, "I wanted to sonically and lyrically get out of my comfort zone with Ben Franklin. It felt only right that the visual accompaniment should include dancing in front of a camera and holding a 10 foot snake close to my face." “Ben Franklin” follows the unveiling of the album’s title track, “Valentine,” and it’s outrageous period drama clip, also directed by Coll. “Valentine” received a cascade of critical praise with Entertainment Weekly saying “‘Valentine' is as auspicious a first taste as we could hope for, gorgeously robust and sonically adventurous. [It] feels anything but small. It is bolder, catchier, and more expansive than its predecessor. From her sorrow and solitude, Jordan reemerges as one of indie rock's most astute, confident, and compelling songwriters.” The album is available for pre-order here, with limited edition vinyl available at both the Matador and Snail Mail online stores.
