Snail Mail’s new album Ricochet<\/em> arrives this Friday, and we’ll have more to say about it soon. So far Lindsey Jordan has teased the follow-up to\u00a02021’s\u00a0Valentine<\/a><\/em> with singles like “My Maker<\/a>” and “Dead End<\/a>,” and last night she ice skated over to 30 Rock to perform another new single called “Tractor Beam” on The Tonight Show<\/em>. Today, the studio version of “Tractor Beam” is out, too.<\/p>\n Per Jordan, “Tractor Beam” is about “feeling othered while acknowledging that you\u2019re spending a lot of your time and energy figuring out how to float away.” It’s the album’s opener, and kicks things off with a Sundays jangle and some Born To Die<\/em> string flourishes. “And a sour taste is all I\u2019ll be\/ In a bitter part of your memory\/ You can cast my letters to the sea\/ But you can\u2019t find anyone else like me,” Jordan sings in the track’s final lines as it builds into a sweeping outro. <\/p>\n Jordan co-directed the “Tractor Beam” video with Elsie Richter on a farm with a bunch of cute animals. Check that out below along with her Fallon<\/em> performance.<\/p>\n
