• Snail Mail

  Snail Mail in Bangkok. Sounds odd, and it was odd. Or "cool", as Lindsey Jordan said in her brief introductory words. She did not talk much, even when she left the stage, in a bit of a moody way, or shy or who knows. It does not matter, though, this is about music, not about profiling people...

  The gig was powerful, yet one had the impression that the audio monitoring was not great. The voice... always the voice. But maybe it is just intended, and it is meant to sound like that. Nico, etc.

  Snail Mail are a powerful and fresh rebirth of the best virtues of noise-rock, guitar-driven bands, and a beautiful sense of melodies building webs of ups and downs, bringing the ears to unexpected places, all put together with alarming simplicity and, again, beauty.

  In 2018, Snail Mail offer a similar set ot emotions as the ones one felt in the mid 90s when Pavement where at their peak, or Throwing Muses. There is a fantastic weird elegance to the way Lindsey Jordan acts on stage, an amazing confidence. It is appaling how she deploys her skills with the guitar, how she sounds so focused and precise, sort of a extremely young talented Neil Young. It was amazing to witness this genius live in such a small venue.

  50 years went by and still The Velvet Underground remains one of the main sources of inspiration for the best rock bands offering decency and commitment onstage.

  Thanks!

• High energy concert 29 June 22 @ a packed Kentish Town Forum from a band clearly having a great time performing. The rockier numbers sounded fantastic, channeling Wild Nothing vibes, particularly Speaking Terms, Glory and, saving best for last, show-closer Pristine. Other highlights of the set included Lindsey capturing Courtney Love c1994 with a punky cover of Hole's Miss World, sparring gently with her personal guitar tech throughout, and refusing to leave the stage without finishing every last drop of beer in her can. Highly entertaining throughout!

  Support band The Goon Sax started the night off with some catchy tunes from across their back catalogue. Older tunes She Knows and Sweaty Hands threatened to steal the show with rare clarity against the otherwise wall-of-sound set list. Then came the stand out song from new album Mirror II, In The Stone, which is now in line for some heavy rotation.

• It's cliche to say that a performer is better live, but in this case I don't know what else to say. Lindsey Jordan's songwriting is so advanced, haunting, and somehow nuanced. These songs shine in a poppy and extremely catchy light on her LP, Lush. But when performed live, her songs have more raw energy, and Jordan's voice cuts through the guitar and drums, asking for all of your attention. "Full Control", "Let's Find an Out", and "Anytime" were my personal favorites of the night. I will definitely be seeing Snail Mail (Lindsey Jordan) again when the opportunity arises.

• Saw them at The Sinclair in July and damn they put on a show they played all of their songs and had people dancing around. Lindsey sang perfectly and she had great things to say in between songs. It was strange she didn't introduce the other members but I digress and she didn't do that annoying thing where you get off the stage just to keep playing a minute later.

• I enjoyed the venue and I really liked hatchie...I liked snail mail performance as well...her voice was almost gone, and she could barely sing ..I guess because she was sick or the wear and tear of touring...but I enjoyed singing along :)

• Lindsey Jordan’s vocals are completely beautiful and unique. The entire show radiates with the same lo-fi bliss that listeners fell in love with through Lush. A performance completely worthy of time and distance traveled.
