Snail Mail, led by Lindsey Jordan, made waves with their debut album "Lush" in 2018, followed by the critically acclaimed "Valentine" released in 2021. This album was a significant step, incorporating a more intricate sound alongside Jordan’s lyrical depth. In 2023, Snail Mail released an EP showcasing demos from “Valentine,” and also collaborated with Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth on a cover of Lou Reed’s “Satellite of Love” for a Fender campaign.
On the other hand, Dinosaur Jr. remains a stalwart title in rock music, having pioneered the indie and alternative scenes since the 1980s. Their latest album, "Sweep It Into Space," released in 2021, featured co-production by Kurt Vile and continued to exhibit the band’s distinctive sound characterized by blistering guitar riffs and melodic hooks. Additionally, last year, they celebrated their legacy by reissuing the 2009 album "Farm."
