Personnel: Snail Mail (vocals, guitar); Jake Aron (guitars, piano, organ, percussion); Ray Brown (drums). Audio Mixer: Jake Aron. Recording information: Doctor Wu's Studio; Outlier Inn. Photographer: Michael Lavine. Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Lindsey Jordan was already a known entity in the Baltimore and D.C. music scenes as a high schooler. A near-life-long guitarist, she was taking lessons from Mary Timony (Helium, Ex Hex) around the time she released her first Snail Mail EP as a 16-year-old in 2016. While the guitar work is a focal point of her style in general, it regularly borders on mesmerizing on her full-length debut, 2018's Lush. Balancing dreamy, complex chords and seductive melodies on the instrument, songs like "Speaking Terms" and "Let's Find an Out" have the subtle effect of seeming to sing with accompaniment before her voice makes an entrance. When it does enter, her vulnerable vocal delivery, combined with vexed lyrics that are both confessional and observational in nature, often sounds like a private, handwritten letter that, once out of her system, she'll immediately crumple up and leave burning in an ashtray. At the end of "Golden Dream," for instance, she rants "Stupid, stupid me" for a cathartic 30 seconds. She's joined on most of the album by drums and bass, giving further texture and volume to her own forthright presence. One of a couple exceptions to that is the aforementioned "Let's Find an Out," which has especially light drums and percussion, in contrast to the crashing cymbals of certain other moments on the record. That opens up space for spare keyboards and anxious rumination. Even the lusher, more driving tracks like "Pristine" and "Full Control" still feel intimate, though. That's due to not only her lyrics and impulsive style of melodic phrasing, but to the hazy quality of her guitar tones, and the wistful, subtly rich chord progressions that come across like complicated moods. It's an impressive formula for a debut, and one that succeeds whether listeners are tuning in more for the soundscape or more for the sentiment. ~ Marcy Donelson

商品の紹介

ボルチモア郊外で生まれ育ち、若干16歳で地元のパンク・レーベル〈Sister Polygon Records〉からリリースしたEP作品『Habit』(2016年作)が、ニューヨーク・タイムズをはじめとする主要メディアから賞賛を集め、デビュー前にも関わらずベル・アンド・セバスチャンのツアーサポートに抜擢されたりと、早耳リスナーの間で話題となっていた若きシンガーソングライター、リンジー・ジョーダンことスネイル・メイルがデビュー・アルバムを遂にリリース!
アルバム発表と同時に公開された先行曲「Pristine」(M-2)は、いきなり米Pitchforkで【Best New Track】を獲得するなど、その盛り上がり方は2017年に大ブレイクを果たしたレーベルメイトのジュリアン・ベイカーを連想させる。本作はアルバム全体を通して、ティーンエイジャーなら誰もが持つ悩みや葛藤を込めたメッセージ性のある歌詞に、90年代オルタナティヴへの憧憬が隠せない物憂げな歌声が、ストレート且つ伸びやかに響くローファイ・ロック・サウンドで聴くものを自然と惹きつける魅力に溢れた作品に完成した。プロデューサーには、ソランジュやグリズリー・ベア、ユミ・ゾウマの作品を手がけたジェイク・アロンを迎え、ザ・ドラムスやパーケイ・コーツなどを手がけたエンジニアのジョニー・シェンクと共にレコーディングが行われた。

Rolling Stone - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "She's packed LUSH, her debut full-length, with the same sort of smart lyrics about unrequited love, personal dissatisfaction and the places where those feelings coalesce as her forebears and set them to a soundtrack of chugging, glassy-toned guitar." Spin - "[M]ore than an album about youth, LUSH is an album about confrontation; it just so happens that the latter gains an extra boost from a touch of the former. It's an album written entirely in the first person, a one-way conversation aimed directly at its subjects." Paste (magazine) - "[A] collection of 10 lucid guitar-pop songs that show off her her classically-trained guitar skills, structural know-how, plus an ability to express the inquisitiveness and confident insecurity of youth with a surprising sophistication..." Clash (Magazine) - "[I]t's fair to say Jordan has delivered an album worthy of its 90s indie antecedents, even surpassing some of these."

高校を卒業したばかりの若きシンガー・ソングライターが名門マタドールからアルバム・デビュー。あどけなさの残る歌声はジュリアン・ベイカーを想起させるが、彼女の場合はもっと陽気に突き抜けていて、ペイヴメントみたいに脱力したギター・サウンドも魅力的だ。Pitchforkの〈Best New Track〉に選ばれた"Pristine"と"Heat Wave"を筆頭に、ミレニアル世代のもどかしい感情を綴った歌詞がとにかく素晴らしい。

USオルタナの神童Snail Mailのデビューアルバム。現代ティーンが奏でるローファイなサウンドは音楽好きを魅了する。デビュー前からベルセバのサポートなど逸話が絶えない。是非ともUSインディー好きやオルタナロック好きは聴いて欲しい。

90sオルタナの血脈を感じるギターの鳴りにまず驚嘆しますが、なにより惹かれてしまうのは彼女の物憂げな歌声。伸びやかでありつつも時折切なく掠れるその歌声には、強さと脆さが共存する10代ならではの瑞々しさを感じます。飾らない姿で、ゆるいカッティングに乗せてありのままを歌う彼女は、まさに新世代のローファイ・ギターヒロイン!
