The title song from Snail Mail's second full length album, this is probably the closest thing to a hit she/they have. The stage name of Lindsey Jordan, this project has been met with wide critical acclaim - and with good reason. Jordan writes indie pop with a heart unlike any other artist today.
Personally, I think this is the best modern example of the quiet-loud-quiet structure of music. It opens quiet, and goes to a rockin' chorus. The video is very much a violent Bridgerton homage.
Also, you should be listening to Snail Mail, and now, you have an opportunity.
Of course, Lindsey and her band perform this song an awful lot, and I could have highlighted several performances.
I chose this one for The Current in 2021 because it was the most audible. Also, she sounds amazing and that guitar is very large for her.
But also, this performance from last month, four years after the one above, shows how much Lindsay has matured in those years as an artist.... and also, the guitar doesn't dwarf her anymore.
