“I want to do it to the best of my ability I don’t want anything to get in the way of that.” Having a clear head made her a better songwriter, too, she says.

“I love doing Snail Mail,” she says, her voice full of sincerity. “AlI I could hear was static, but I remember just being like, ‘Oh my God, I love listening to music and I love making music and I’m in touch with my passion and I feel so me!’”Īt that point, Jordan had already started working on songs for a new Snail Mail record, but needed to get into the right emotional and mental place to not only write them but to prepare to tour them. I’m like, Whatever, y’all! Rehab Diplo it is!” She cackles and recalls asking Alex, Snail Mail’s bassist and her best friend, to play “Vox Celeste,” by Deerhunter, over the phone. I’m not going to be the one who has to turn off the rehab Diplo. “I never wanted to be the one that was like, ‘Can we listen to alternative music?’ Because everyone else wanted to listen to Diplo. “There are so many girls in the program that you don’t really ever get to choose,” she explains. I’m careful to avoid it, but ever-confessional, she brings it up: “I went to rehab, and a big part of coming out of rehab for me was that in there I couldn’t listen to music,” she says. It’s important to me to protect the people around me, but also be honest.” That honesty comes through on the first single from Valentine, “ Ben Franklin.” She sings, “Post-rehab, I’ve been feeling so small.” It’s a short line, brief enough you might not notice it, but she knew it would be leapt on.

“I try to make informed decisions about how I’m talking about the people around me. “When I’m making the music and lyrics, I’m super-aware of how far I’m going,” she says. Jordan puts a lot of herself into her music - guts, heartbreak, feeling - but she’s conscious of how much she reveals. In getting ready to release her second album, Valentine, she took drastic measures. Raw and confessional, Lush put Jordan onto a world stage that she wasn’t necessarily prepared for. “Before you put something out, if you’re doing it in a way that’s responsible, you have to be ready for the reception and the tours and the press.” Jordan’s debut album as Snail Mail, Lush, was released when she was only 17 years old, forcing her into the spotlight. She leans in as she listens, nodding and grinning, her hands clasped around a Starbucks cup. Wearing a flamboyant white shirt with cherubic waves framing her face, Jordan exudes an easy warmth. It’s been such a process getting myself ready to do this whole thing,” the 22-year-old singer-songwriter says. “My year was really emotionally intense and busy. Jordan rolls her eyes at the idea of heading out later that afternoon, but doesn’t ever slow down - she’s expressive and animated, waving her arms around and punctuating the dialogue with “dude!” and “100 percent!” Her playful energy is infectious, perfect for hiding out from the rain with. Except we’re in London, in October, so our chat is soundtracked by rain beating on the ceiling.

Jordan chose the cozy spot beneath a skylight in a hotel bar so that we could get some sun. the indie-music darling who goes by Snail Mail - the heavens open.

The Specialty Plate is just the right thickness to use with the bottom platform and the 3D folder. The new 3D Folders work best when using the Specialty Plate. Love that texture! It’s best to use the Die Brush to clean out the tiny holes on the curvy die (yes I need to use it yet).
