VIDEO: Snail Mail Releases Live Performance of 'Valentine' Ahead of Valentine's Day

Ahead of Valentine's Day, Snail Mail (Lindsey Jordan) shares a full band performance of the single "Valentine," taken from her critically acclaimed latest album of the same name. Recorded for The Current radio station in Minnesota, the session highlights the song's soaring and intricate guitar dynamics with Jordan's raw words and voice at centerstage.

On Monday, February 14th Snail Mail will release an early demo of the song, titled "Adore You." Featuring early lyrics and a different structure, the whispered, vulnerable lo-fi version is a sonically opposite yet equally devastating flipside, proving that in any configuration "Valentine" is as powerful a lovelorn torch song as they come.

Snail Mail will play an extensive run of North American, UK and European tour dates in 2022. The US dates kick off in Philadelphia on April 5th. Highlights include The Kings Theatre in Brooklyn on April 8th and The Palladium in Los Angeles on April 27th. All dates are listed below and are available here.

Valentine, the second album from Snail Mail, has emerged as one of 2021's most celebrated releases, featuring prominently in best of the year roundups from New York Times, Vogue, NME, Pitchfork, The New Yorker and many others. She made her late-night television debut with an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. On release, Valentine landed at #1 on the Billboard Emerging Artist Chart and #61 in the Billboard Top 200 in the US, and entered the Top 40 album charts in the UK and Australia.

Valentine was written and produced by 22-year-old Lindsey Jordan and co-produced by Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Waxahatchee). Written in 2019-2020 the album is filled with romance, heartbreak, blood, sweat and tears. But Valentine is poised and self-possessed, channeling its anger and dejection into empowering revenge fantasies and rewriting the narrative of its own fate.
