Lindsey jordan snail mail5/28/2023 The song is more powerful because it is predicated by that false start-you know the struggle at stake for Jordan to express herself so completely. She gives the song a real title this time, “Anytime,” and the once modest tune now has these hi-fi depths that engulf you in its world. But about 30 minutes later-after Jordan has pulled you through a series of epic hooks and fluctuating emotions that crest and crash as tall as tidal waves-that melody will recur, although this time without the protective glass. Frontwoman and guitarist Lindsey Jordan unceremoniously titles the first track “Intro,” and it’s a deadpan little shrug of a song, just some muted guitar and a melody sung as if behind a fogged pane of glass. There’s a circularity to Lush, the tremendous first album from the Maryland band Snail Mail-a quality that becomes especially poignant when you take the record as a whole.
