Ricochet

With her first album in five years, Lindsey Jordan aka Snail Mail, returns with a renewed sense of clarity and control, asserting herself as a generational songwriter with a sharpened perspective.

While her early work chronicled the emotional turbulence of young love, Ricochet reveals a deeper fixation: time, mortality, and the quiet terror of watching the things you love slip away. The album's 11 songs are steeped in introspection, anxiety, and acceptance - an acknowledgment that the world keeps turning regardless of what's unfolding in your own small orbit.

Sonically, Ricochet channels the luminous side of '90s alternative rock - echoing Smashing Pumpkins at their sunniest, Radiohead at their most Britpop, and the shoegaze haze of bands like Catherine Wheel and Ivy - all filtered through Jordan's singular voice.
