[Snail Mail Game Download For Mac
Rancul Ratha
Already a fixture in the DC music scene while gaining attention from publications such as the Le Sigh, Lindsey Jordan and her band Snail Mail recently went on their first tour. Having just finished her junior year of high school, Snail Mail is playing a weeklong string of shows in the northeastern US. Jordan has a quiet power to her songs reminiscent of songwriter Maryn Jones (All Dogs, Yowler, Saintseneca) in the way she encapsulates heartbreak and what it means to grow up. Snail Mail released their EP, Habit, on the DC label Sister Polygon Records on July 12, following Garageband recordings Lindsey released in May of 2015. Written in the suburbs of Baltimore, Habit is a 6-song chronicle of adolescent restlessness and crushes. I caught up with Lindsey over email and asked her some questions about the new EP and her songwriting process.
LJ: Writing Habit was definitely all over the place and messy! Lots of writing songs in full and then throwing them away and putting down my guitar for weeks or months on end! Mostly the songs came from me being really upset or feeling a strong emotion (lots of crushing;) ) and letting myself wind down to a point where I could put my feelings into something more palpable.
JL: What bands in the DC scene and beyond do you draw inspiration from?
LJ: My top fave bands in the DC scene are (were) Neonates, Priests, Big Hush, Flasher, and On-J! I'm probably leaving something out! Outside of DC music I really love listening to Broadcast, Electrelane, Grouper, The Replacements, Joni Mitchell, etc etc forever. I love stuff with super thoughtful songwriting, where you can tell a lot of emotion and work went in! I also just found out about this new band Westkust and I can't get their songs out of my brain!!
JL: Tell me about how you began to be involved with Sister Polygon?
LJ: I met most of the SPR folks by going to shows! They are true homies and are super helpful/supportive!
JL: A lot of the songs on the EP are concerned with feeling down/depression, is that something you deal with?
LJ: I don't think I have depression! I definitely sometimes take things really hard though and end up spilling all of my guts into my songwriting, which is sorta how I like to be expressive!
JL: What is high school like for you?
LJ: High school is fine to be honest. I'm terrified right now because I'm about to start the college application process, but other than that I have a great core group of friends at school and I love English class, so I'm kind of just taking it one day at a time and soaking up the resources I get through school \_(ツ)_/
JL: What do you see yourself doing in the future after HS in terms of music / general life plans?
LJ: I wish I could give a straight answer! I had a really great time on tour, so hopefully I can keep doing Snail Mail stuff and maybe get a real life job in the mean time. Hopefully college is on the horizon as well.
JL: You recently did a Snail Mail tour, how did it go? What was your favorite show on tour? Do you want to do another one in the future?
LJ: Tour was the best time ever! We had such amazing people helping us with each show and we all got to see a bunch of cities we'd never seen and sorta get to know each other better than we already did, which was really sweet and amazing. My favorite show was Western Mass with Mal Devisa, Alexis Hott, and Drool! Shouts to Jaclyn Walsh forreal! Best show and super beautiful city.
LJ: It was really really tough. I had bronchitis throughout the entire process and definitely puked in Jason's yard, which made it super tough to do vocal takes I was satisfied with, but all and all recording with Jason and Gideon was really fun! I hope they had as much fun as I did.
JL: How has your environment (suburban Maryland) affected your songs and songwriting?
LJ: Suburban Maryland was definitely a driving force in my songwriting in that before I had a driver's license I was feeling really trapped and isolated. Now I'm pretty happy here, though! I spend most of the time in my car leaving Ellicott City, but whenever I'm gone for prolonged periods of time I find myself really missing it. It's super peaceful and cute.
are there any 'good' Internet sources? I am a very ecclectic sort of person and have always had problems finding the right match. As a youth, I used pen pal services all the time, and having the right match didn't seem so important then. When I got online some years back, one of my first exploration projects was finding some ink sparring partners. I looked hard. Most of the penpal type pages were for teens. I did find some specialty groups and actually found a person who was a good writing partner for over a year. Unfortunately, it was email writing.
Many of the lists I scoured were mostly non-descript listings with little information. When I meet someone in person, we usually have some sort of common link and, as I said, I'm so ecclectic in my interests, that just writing about the weather or what I want for Christmas doesn't satisfy me at all.
I did understand that was your purpose and I certainly do not mean to be disrespectful in any way. I'm not sure that even if I was going to write to someone, I'd care to write about fountain pens. As I said a few times, I'm a bit on the eccentric side of things. Since I already interact with so many of these people here at this wonderful forum, I might be interested in drawing from a different pool.
I'm usually good for at least a quick note, though, to be fair, it should be noted (as KCat can attest) that my handwriting is peculiar, eccentric, and legibilitily-challenged. Oh, and I'm mostly a blue-ink kind of guy, so...
I live in Brooklyn, and work in Manhattan, and have lived in NYC all my life; what I'm likely to write about are snippets of life in the city, musings over singing and performance, from all sides (performing, watching, tech prep), with the occasional wanders into goofiness, and profundity.
I'm interested in penpalling as well. Just a brief intro. I'm Carrie, I'm 30 and from England. I started penpalling about 12 years ago and moved over to using fountain pens to write my letters about 4 years ago. My letters are written with various Conway Stewarts with the odd Parker thrown in for good measure if I feel like writing with something a bit different. Other interests include museums, archaeology, history, walking, reading (if I ever find the time), photography (I finally went digital last year with a Nikon D70 which I absolutely love), what else, I guess I could say that I spend far too much time going round the country watching different types of motorsport.
Short bio, hm, well, I've been working in the mental health field for the past 27 years, most recently specializing in alcohol and drug treatment. I work in a small public hospital on a unit with adult patients. Used to work with adolescents, but realized I was getting crazier than them and shifted out.
I have frequent and rapid shifts of interest, but currently they are: cigars, pipes and tobacco, a return to photography, an intellectual interest in gardening, cooking, reading (fiction, bios and non-fictrion not so much), (aside: Ian McEwan is the most amazing author I've come across in a long time!), and, of course, pens.
Started with a Waterman 52 I found at an antique mall, have now scoured all the readily available antique shops and have decided that fountain pens were never very popular in Utah, or they've all been collected! I've decided that currently I'm an accumulator, not a collector.
