Slow wins the race. April is almost here. Ricochet, the third album by Ellicott City, Maryland's finest Snail Mail is on the doormat, I've got a large beaker of tea, Off we go.
It's a very 2026 sounding album. Marie Osmond was a little bit Country and a little bit Rock & Roll.. This is a little bit Indie with a healthy dollop of winsome, self ennui for dressing.
It's a trifle bland tbh. But sounds fine on a Saturday morning. I wonder about the lack of ambition of youthful product sometimes. Linsey Erin Jordon (for Snail Mail is she), is 26 and has three albums under her belt. Joni Mitchell had five at the same age. Including Blue and For the Roses .
There's nothing on Ricochet which would merit a starting slot on either but these are different times and there's plenty that you might like to add to a playlist. Fair to middling.
