NEW MUSIC! From the Los Angeles-based trio made up of singer Jacob Lusk and producers Ryan Hope and Ari Balouzian. Explaining the meaning behind the track, Lusk says, “When examining our life’s problems, we hastily assign blame – ‘This happened because of this…’ Our song ‘Blame’ seeks to examine the construct of not only fault and shame, but take a deep dive into the world of addiction, and indulgence.” -- tinyurl.com gabriels.bandcamp.com

The Goon Sax opening for Snail Mail at the Moore on Wednesday, April 20th! Also known as 420 New album out now from the Brisbane band. thegoonsax.bandcamp.com

Snail Mail is playing at The Moore Theatre with The Goon Sax on Wednesday, April 20, 2022. bit.ly -- The newest song from Snail Mail aka 22-year-old Lindsey Jordan. Her 2nd full length record of the same name is out November 5. Lindsey Jordan wrote Valentine' in 2019 and 2020 and recorded it with help from producer Brad Cook. “I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all,” she said in a statement. “Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. 'Valentine' is my child!” It comes with a deliciously violent video directed by Josh Coll in which Jordan’s jealousy gets the best of her while she’s decked out in an elegant outfit. “It was so rewarding concocting this video alongside the brilliant Josh Coll! Watching a few perverse images in my head metamorphose into this gorgeous storyline and eventually into a tangible visual was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” Jordan said. “We connected over a mutual interest in the intersection between terror and devastating beauty. But also Tim and Eric and watered down ginger ale, which I had to drink a shocking amount of in those drink-bombing scenes.” bit.ly youtu.be -- snailmail.bandcamp.com -- Snail Mail played live in the KEXP studio in 2018: youtu.be
