Snail Mail Delivers New Album ‘Ricochet’ & Posts ‘Dead End’ Single

Singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan will release a new Snail Mail album entitled Ricochet on March 27 via Matador Records. Jordan confirmed tour dates supporting the record and shared its lead single, “Dead End.”

The first Snail Mail album in five years, Ricochet was recorded by Jordan with producer/bassist Aron Kobayashi Ritch. Sessions – described by Jordan as “refreshing, trusting, and comfortable” – were held at Fidelitorium Recordings in North Carolina and at Nightfly and Studio G in Brooklyn.

The 11-track Ricochet comes in the wake of Jordan’s significant life experiences, including relocating from New York City to North Carolina and undergoing surgery (and subsequent speech therapy) for vocal polyps. “Dead End” arrived with a music video co-directed by Jordan and Elsie Richter.

“We shot the video for ‘Dead End’ in random places all around rural North Carolina between the hours of 5 p.m. and 4 a.m. on one of the coldest nights of my life,” Jordan said. “The goal was to be inconspicuous with the fireworks, but someone called the cops on us.”

Snail Mail will support Ricochet with 2026 North American Tour dates slated for April and May. Sharp Pins will open, along with Avalon Emerson & the Charm, Swirlies, Rocket and Armlock joining select shows throughout the tour.
