Snail Mail announces the forthcoming Valentine Demoes EP

Marking the two-year anniversary of her second album Valentine, Snail Mail – AKA Lindsay Jordan – announces the Valentine Demoes EP.

To coincide with the announcement, Snail Mail is sharing the previously unreleased single, "Easy Thing". The forthcoming album consists of four early stripped-down recordings of songs from the 2021 release, including the previously shared “Adore You” – a working title for Valentine.

“Without further ado, here are the demo versions of some of the songs that would become integral to the making of Valentine, Jordan says. "A little over three years ago, holed up at my parents’ house in Maryland, with just a minilogue synth, an interface, a mic, and a guitar, I started working on writing my second full length record. I prefer some of the demos to what actually came out on the record because of how intimate and solitary the process was. You can kind of hear me crying in one of them. Maybe two actually haha.”

2023 has seen Snail Mail tour North America and Europe and perform at festivals including Coachella, Rock En Seine, Lowlands, Green Man, and All Points East with HAIM. The band will end the year with a run of shows in Japan in December.

Tracklist:

  1. Automate (Demo)
  2. c. et al. (Demo)
  3. Headlock (Demo)
  4. Easy Thing (Demo)
  5. Adore You (Valentine Demo)

"Easy Thing" is out now. Snail Mail's forthcoming Valentine Demoes EP will be released on 3 November via Matador, and is available to pre-order.
