Snail Mail dropped a lovingly bloody video for the title track off her forthcoming album Valentine.
Set to arrive November 5 via Matador, Snail Mail gave a first look into what we can expect from the record by recreating a hilarious period drama. Also known as Lindsey Jordan, Snail Mail is a caterer for a ballroom gala and simultaneously is trying to win over a girl that is dancing with a boy. Resulting in the overblown, Tarantino bloodshed, Snail Mail takes a knife to the guy’s heart in front of everyone, following her stealing everyone’s drinks and cake.
“It was so rewarding concocting this video alongside the brilliant Josh Coll!,” Snail Mail said in a statement. “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.”
Check it out below.
The upcoming album was written and produced by the 22-year-old, who has also announced a tour with U.S., UK, and European runs that kicks off in February 2022.
