Snail Mail is back with a new song. “My Maker” is the latest track from her next album Ricochet, and it arrives alongside a one-take music video where she’s playing live from a hot-air balloon. You can watch that below.
In a press statement, Lindsey Jordan said the “My Maker” lyric “Above us, it’s just sky” inspired the video’s in-air location. “It took six canceled rides for that to happen, but we finally got up there,” she added. “I wanted the video to reference the lyrics about mortality, but also about the freedom that comes with realizing fate is out of your hands.” Jordan and Elsie Richter directed the visual, and Momma’s Aron Kobayashi Ritch co-produced the track.
“My Maker” follows “Dead End,” the lead single Jordan shared when she announced Ricochet back in January. This spring, she’ll support the new record with an international tour, featuring support from Sharp Pins, Avalon Emerson & The Charm, Swirlies, and more. Jordan’s most recent LP, Valentine, came out in 2021.
