Snail Mail has announced her second album Valentine with a somewhat bloody music video of her title track.

The album is set to come out later this year and will follow up on Lindsey Jordan’s 2018 debut album Lush. The new release will land on November 5th via Matador and will be toured around the UK next year.

Jordan said in a statement on NME “I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all. Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. ‘Valentine’ is my child!”

The music video that accompanied this announcement is a gory and highly dramatic piece in which Jordan plays a chambermaid to a high-society woman with whom she has an illicit affair. However, she discovers her lover with a man and is distraught and goes on a binge of drinking stuffing her face with cake. All of which then leads to her eventually murdering him.

You can view the music video below though you may only be able to view the video directly on YouTube due to the gore in the video.

Speaking of the video, she then added: “It was so rewarding concocting this video alongside the brilliant Josh Coll! Watching a few perverse images in my head metamorphose into this gorgeous storyline and eventually into a tangible visual was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

“We connected over a mutual interest in the intersection between terror and devastating beauty. But also Tim and Eric and watered down ginger ale, which I had to drink a shocking amount of in those drink-bombing scenes.”

After the album’s release, Snail Mail will then embark on a huge US tour in November, before she reaches the UK and Europe in early 2022. You can pre-order and pre-save the album here.
