VIDEO: Watch Snail Mail Perform 'Valentine' on THE LATE SHOW

Snail Mail (Lindsey Jordan) made her late-night television debut on Friday with an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. She performed "Valentine," the title track off her critically acclaimed new album which was released via Matador on the same day.

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, channelling its anger and dejection into empowering revenge fantasies and rewriting the narrative of its own fate. Stitched throughout it is the melodrama and the camp Jordan so deftly utilizes to offset her pain.

The sonic leap forward can be heard from the first moments of the title track - the whispered voice and eerie sci-fi synths erupting into a full-on stadium-sized adrenaline-rush of a chorus. From there it's all go - with digitized electronic inflected anthems, swooning baroque FM rockers, smoldering slow-jam R&B and some of the most gorgeous and heart-rending finger-picked guitar ballads this side of Elliott Smith. The star of the show however is Lindsey's voice - no longer the prodigal wunderkind, her vocals and words are rawer, deeper, snarlier and more feeling than ever before.

Snail Mail has announced a worldwide tour with North American dates kicking off November 27 in Richmond, VA and concluding in Silver Spring, MD on Dec 21. Following a tour of the UK and European she returns to North America on April 5 hitting major venues across the country including Kings Theatre in Brooklyn on April 7, the Riviera Theatre in Chicago on April 14 and the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on April 27. Tickets are on sale now via snailmail.band. All dates are listed below.
