Lush, Snail Mail's debut album, arrived on Friday (June 8) and is described by Pitchfork as emotionally wise, musically clear and encompassing the once and future sound of indie rock.

The review points to sincerity as Lindsey Jordan's superpower, turning suburban teenage ennui into guitar confessionals. Born in June 1999, she emerges as a leader of the genre's next generation.

According to the review, the record keeps indie rock's honourable ideals alive while expanding its purview beyond the group that historically dominated the scene. It is a debut that sounds both teenage and mature.
