Snail Mail has announced a new EP.
'Valentine Demos' will arrive through Matador on November 3, and features stripped back demos of tracks off the singer-songwriter's 2021 sophomore LP, 'Valentine'.
It also contains the previously unreleased Easy Thing, an acoustic guitar ballad that was penned by Lindsey Jordan while she was working on the record. Jordan wrote:
"Without further ado, here are the demo versions of some of the songs that would become integral to the making of 'Valentine'.
"A little over three years ago, holed up at my parents’ house in Maryland, with just a minilogue synth, an interface, a mic, and a guitar, I started working on writing my second full length record. I prefer some of the demos to what actually came out on the record because of how intimate and solitary the process was. You can kind of hear me crying in one of them. Maybe two actually haha."
Snail Mail will see out the year with a run of shows in Japan in December.
'Valentine Demons' EP tracklist:
1. Automate (Demo)
2. c. et al. (Demo)
3. Headlock (Demo)
4. Easy Thing (Demo)
5. Adore You (Demo)
