Back in January, Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail told Noisey that her band's upcoming album (Lush, out June 8) was "totally a guitar rock record," with lots of fleshed-out riffs, giving her room to flex her considerable muscles as a guitarist.

Today Snail Mail release "Heat Wave," one of Lush's standout tracks both for its shreddy guitar parts, and its forlorn lyrics (listen to the repeated refrain "I'm not into sometimes" and feel tiny bits break off your heart each time it's sung).

But despite all the efforts to kill that snail mail and get it sent directly to an inbox, there really doesn't yet seem to be a replacement to that experience of getting home and stepping over those letters from businesses (important or otherwise).

Some states allow you to request an absentee ballot online, but sometimes you have to mail in a form, get an absentee ballot in the mail, then send that ballot back—more interaction with snail mail than a lot of young people are used to.

What distinguishes Snail Mail from many similar bands combining minimalist guitar-pop and wryly forlorn heart-songs is their deadpan musical stance: Lindsey Jordan's dazed, droning, mildly off-key voice, uttering every statement, whether happy or sad, self-mocking or defiant, in the same indifferent drawl.

Then there's the very recent example of Chase Bank forcing thousands of credit card holders into arbitration (unless they just so happened to see Chase's email announcing the new terms and have the time to snail mail the bank an opt-out notice within the next month).

It's likely that wealthy and well-connected students had an enormous advantage at the time (probably even more so than now), but from my perspective admissions was just a big, mysterious black hole into which one sent in their application and received a decision by snail mail several months later.

Before the advent of computers and other handy electronic devices, business letters (ask your folks; they were like emails, but on paper) were dictated verbally to stenographers, who wrote really quickly in shorthand and then transcribed the letter in full to send to the recipient via what we now call snail mail.

The example she has set over the last seven years — from lo-fi, no-budget home recordings to effusive critical acclaim and sold-out tours, all without sacrificing any of her charm or individuality — has helped open doors for a generation of self-starters like Soccer Mommy, Snail Mail and Julien Baker.

Bernie Madoff is presently serving the remaining 120 years of his prison sentence in Butner Federal Correctional Institution Medium I in Butner, N.C. Most of our correspondence has been by email, but on occasion, especially when the topic is too complicated for the Bureau of Prison's email system CorrLinks, it is by old fashioned snail-mail, in Madoff's own blue ink ballpoint.

Citing the global outbreak of the coronavirus, the FBI has placed a significant limit on how Americans can learn about the workings of their government: Instead of simply using email, people who seek public records, such as documents on high profile federal investigations or files on public figures, must now put their requests on paper and send them via snail mail.

Some of my favorite answers that didn't make the grid were CONTINENTAL U.S., BRICK-AND-MORTAR STORE, SIT-DOWN RESTAURANT, and BLACK-AND-WHITE TV. The grid might look pretty unconstrained, but in fact it does have the constraint that there need to be black squares above the E in BRITISH ENGLISH, the M in SNAIL MAIL, the N in REAL NUMBER, etc.

In January, it was announced that Tom Hanks would play Rogers in the upcoming feature film You Are My Friend, while in March PBS aired an hour-long special on Rogers, It's You I Like, and the United States Postal Service dedicated a "Mister Rogers Forever" stamp, inspiring postal workers to share personal anecdotes on his influence and others to find excuses to send snail mail.

And so they'll put up that information, so suddenly — if you're the head of the ADL, you expect to get harassed on Twitter, but when you're a freelance journalist writing for GQ, you don't expect that your personal cellphone is going to start to ring with horrible messages or you'll receive snail mail to your home saying, "We know where you live," which is the kind of things that have happened repeatedly to journalists.

One of those new songs was "Let's Find an Out," for which a studio version has been released today (hear it above.) The track basically puts all of the great things about Snail Mail as a project on display: it features Jordan's extremely accomplished guitar playing, and her extremely affecting singing voice at its most raw, and it's also a great example of how the full band format encourages her musical creations to grow and swell really pleasingly.

Lindsey Jordan's Snail Mail played their first ever full band London show last night (Jordan played solo earlier this year.) About a third of the show saw them playing songs familiar to their audience—the crowd sang along to new ones like "Pristine" and "Heat Wave" and older tracks like "Thinning" with aplomb, much to Jordan's obvious delight—but the rest were unreleased tracks, included on Snail Mail's debut album Lush, which is due for release on June 9 via Matador.

So, as a primer, Jack White, here are a few of my favourite guitar acts (and these are just the ones I could fit into the short amount of time I had to write this blog post) who—while you were presumably waiting for five serious, identikit guys to knock your socks off with their intricacy of their riffs—have been ready to do it all along: Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail is one of the most exciting guitarists in music right now, and guess what?

WHERE TO START: The soft-power power pop anthem "Thinning" Snail Mail singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan was only 17 when Habit was released this summer, but she already seems to have the whole middle-age angst thing down cold: "I've been down countless halls/And once you've seen one it's like you've seen 'em all" she sings on "Dirt," one of six deceptively low-key gems on this EP. Full of braided guitar lines and quietly triumphant choruses, Habit is smart-kid ennui that's almost too relatable—no matter your age.
