Snail Mail w Joy Again at Liberty Hall, Lawrence KS (2022-04-16)

SNAIL MAIL SETLIST Valentine Ben Franklin Glory Speaking Terms Heat Wave Automate Madonna Golden Dream Thinning Light Blue Full Control Headlock Tonight, Tonight (The Smashing Pumpkins cover) Forever (Sailing) -- Encore -- Mia Pristine Read More Snail Mail Matador’s youngest signing Snail Mail (aka 18-yr-old Lindsey Jordan) will be stopping by the 7th Street Entry in support of her debut album Lush - out now. … Joy Again Philadelphia five-piece Joy Again to open the show. Since forming in 2015, the band established themselves as a “staple of the Philly basement scene.” …

The calendar may have said Easter Weekend, but for everyone inside Liberty Hall in Lawrence, KS to see Snail Mail in concert, it seemed much more like Valentine’s –

The indie rock project led by Maryland native/NYC-based singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan is out in support of her second full-length album. Valentine (on Matador Records), released last November.

The evening began with a forty-three minute opening set from Philadelphia band Joy Again, for their first time playing in the state, and the tour’s support act for just a week before they would venture off on their own headlining club dates.

The musical collective has two singer/guitarists that split lead duties (Sachi DiSerafino and Arthur Shea, alongside keyboardists Blaise O'Brien, and Zachary Tyndall, bassist Kieran Ferris, and drummer Will Butera) and plays slightly more than typical alternative rock – there’s also a dash of Zappa/Flaming Lips eclecticism and weirdness that makes their music both danceable and more existential at the same time.

Their second EP is 2019’s Piano and they’ve since been signed to Arista Records, marking that signing with recent single, “What Lovers Do” and the crowd reserved their most audible response for 2015’s “Looking Out for You”, played towards the end of their fifteen-song set.

===

With the band’s logo on a big backdrop and a couple of Cupid statues on pedestals adorning the stage, Snail Mail began their sixty-five minute set with the title track and album opener from the latest record, Valentine and quickly got all of the crowd engaged and on their side.

Following the album’s sequence, “Ben Franklin” next brought things very personal, as Jordan sang about her 2020 stint in rehab.

After pandemic-related delays and an additional late 2021 pause for a necessary vocal chord operation, both the band and the crowd seemed elated to see each other, and there was often singing along and shrieking affection after every song. Jordan confessed that “Automate” was one of her favorites from the new record (and they played all but one song from Valentine), singing “you’ll be sweet if I stay, and it’s not enough, conditional love”.

“Thinning” reached all the way back to 2016, with Jordan singing repeatedly as if to convince herself, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong” then exclaiming, It’s Saturday night!” clearly thrilled by the reception. She also recalled her last time in town, at a smaller venue during mid-July heat and the air conditioning system not working properly, but also remembered she thought it was a good show. Nevertheless.

Jordan’s voice soared during “Light Blue” proving to everyone she’d almost completely recovered from that polyp removal surgery, something she briefly talked about, following the song. Her band: Alex Bass (his real name!) – bass; Ray Brown – drums; Madeline McCormack – guitar, keys; Benjamin Kaunitz – guitar, played solidly all evening without being obtrusive or upstaging, and all came really alive with their authentic cover of The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight, Tonight”.

“Forever (Sailing)” with Jordan singing, “whatever you decide, I’ll chase you from the city to the sky” took us to the end of the main set, with Jordan soon to re-appear, with only her acoustic guitar and Kaunitz at her side for a delicate “Mia” and again, her vocals reaching heights she likely could not have, just a year prior, pre-surgery.

The rest of the band re-joined on stage for the closing “Pristine” from 2018’s breakout album Lush, a love song of self second-guessing and what could have been, common feelings the mostly college-age crowd could obviously relate to.

As the pandemic winds down and people re-emerge in social gatherings, we find we’re having to re-learn basic interacting skills, most left more vulnerable by twenty months of isolation. Like everyone else, 22 year-old Lindsey Jordan had experienced very similar, but opened herself up and put those lyrics to paper, about love and loss, and learning lessons. Though the album is called Valentine, the live show from Snail Mail may be more “Easter” after all, as it was a mix of songs about realization, catharsis, and eventual rebirth.

with Amtrac
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

Grammy-Award winning duo Bob Moses (Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance) returns to Minneapolis, at First Avenue’s mainroom, this April 14th, touring in support of their latest The Silence in Between.

The record is the duo’s first full-length since signing to Astralwerks, with global partnership with Domino Recording Co. Creating the album was a difficult, as Howie explains, “Making this album was a way for us to process what we’d been going through and figure out how to move forward. We lost a good friend during the pandemic, I had my first child, Jimmy’s parents went through a divorce, and there were so many other world-shaking things happening around us. We were dealing with a lot of fear and uncertainty, and music became like our life raft. It allowed us to really focus in on the purity and the magic of our working relationship, to get back to trusting our instincts and just be as honest as possible.”

Amtrac (not to be confused with Amtrak) to open.

Starset is back in town, headlining the Skyway Theatre this Sunday, February 18th. We caught Starset in Sep 2015 and noted, “Starset started off the show. These guys came out and turned heads instantly with their look and sound. These guys seemed to be the odd balls out of the line-up. Their sound was much more electronic than that of the other two bands. Not only was their sound much different, so was their look.”
