There are times on Valentine when Jordan very clearly plays it safe and sticks to her guns on “Glory,” she harkens back to the Lush song “Speaking Terms” and channels her breathy self on “Headlock.” These songs could have very well fit in nicely on Lush in all of their simple and straightforward glory. On her long-awaited second album, Valentine, carefully arranged love songs are placed on a glasslike pedestal and surrounded by confident, unobtrusive vocal performances, the likes of which fans have come to love and appreciate. To most, her 2018 debut Lush heralded the arrival of indie’s next whiz kid. Under the semi-ironic stage name Snail Mail, Maryland-born singer/songwriter Lindsey Jordan constructs cerebral, approachable indie rock worthy of her delicate, prodigious veneer.
