Snail Mail shares new single, "My Maker"
Snail Mail, the project of singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan, has released "My Maker", the second single from her upcoming third album, Ricochet.
The new track, which Jordan co-produced with Momma bassist and producer Aron Kobayashi Ritch, follows lead single "Dead End" which dropped just last month. It arrives alongside a video directed by Jordan herself and Elsie Richter, which sees her float off in a hot air balloon in a single take, echoing the themes of transcience, life, and death reflected in the song.
Discussing "My Maker", Jordan explains: "'My Maker' was the lyrical jumping off point of the record, the anchor that helped me build the rest of the album around it. I kept thinking about the line “it’s just sky,” which obviously meant we had to make a video in a hot air balloon. It took six cancelled rides for that to happen, but we finally got up there. I wanted the video to reference the lyrics about mortality, but also about the freedom that comes with realizing fate is out of your hands."
Ricochet is released on 27 March via Matador
