Indie rock singer Snail Mail captivated the stage during the Phoenix stop on her current tour, turning an intimate show into something that felt personal from start to finish. Known for her classic indie-rock bedroom sound, she drew the audience in with a setlist full of fan favorites such as "Pristine," "Tractor Beam," and "Valentine." With a simple stage setup including a fence lining the center and captivating lights, the singer and band as a whole allowed their sound to speak for itself. Every lyric and guitar layer was able to fully resonate through the venue as lead singer Lindsay Jordan commanded the audience; both the band and venue were all smiles as the set continued. 

 

Following the success of Jordan’s sophomore album Valentine, the tour highlights her recent project Ricochet, released earlier this year. The setlist excitingly contained each song from the album, with a few notable fans in the front row already knowing the lyrics start to finish. Throughout the show, Jordan swapped guitars multiple times, bringing a few different sounds and aesthetics to the stage, keeping the audience excited for what song would come next. The new music translated incredibly well into the live setting, making for an exciting and immersive show. 

 

Overall, the intimacy of this show is truly what made it a memorable night for Snail Mail fans. With the live band putting their all into the instrumentals and Jordan herself fully engaged with the audience, you could feel the connection between the artist and audience growing stronger as the show went on. Turning deeply reflective bedroom indie-rock songs into a captivating live show is no easy task, but Snail Mail did exactly that. With the show being both sonically and visually captivating, Snail Mail is a must see for indie fans.
