Snail Mail<\/a> wrapped up their latest North American tour by debuting two new songs in Seattle \u2013 watch footage below.<\/p>\n The group, led by Lindsey Jordan, had been on the road with Dinosaur Jr. since last month<\/a>, although the latter had been forced to withdraw from the final three shows due to a health issue with frontman J. Mascis<\/a>.<\/p>\n The final show of the run took place on Friday night (August 8) in Seattle\u2019s Neumos, and Snail Mail took the opportunity to give two new tracks their first public airing. \u2018My Maker\u2019 is a dreamy, acoustic-strummed track, while \u2018Ricochet\u2019 is more introverted and solitary.<\/p>\n Check them both out in fan-captured footage here:<\/p>\n These follow on from two other new songs that popped up for the first time at a show in Massachusetts last month: \u2018Nowhere\u2019 is a contemplative, slacker rock number, while \u2018Dead End\u2019 is a sweet, melodic jangle pop tune. Watch footage of those here:<\/p>\n Snail Mail\u2019s most recent album, 2021\u2019s \u2018Valentine\u2019\u00a0scored a glowing five-star review<\/a>, with\u00a0NME<\/i>\u2018s El Hunt writing: \u201cExpertly curated, every single song in \u2018Valentine\u2019s relatively restrained 10-song tracklist feels like a fully-realised gem. As a songwriter, Jordan continues to cut straight through to the messy, conflicted, hopelessly infatuated guts of life. It\u2019s a rare skill to pull it off so flawlessly in a signature track or two \u2013 let alone across the space of two concise records.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to\u00a0NME<\/i>\u00a0following the\u00a0blockbuster announcement of Oasis\u2019 return<\/a>\u00a0for their current tour, Snail Mail\u00a0told us about their impact on her career<\/a>: \u201cIt would be easier to answer how they haven\u2019t influenced me! Their songwriting, melodic genius, and style have been important to me for longer than I can remember. I always catch myself referencing them when I\u2019m trying to write.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
