Baltimore-based singer, songwriter, and guitar prodigy Snail Mail, the moniker of 20-year-old Lindsey Jordan, has re-issued her breakout EP, Habit, available now digitally, with the physical version coming out on August 30th. The re-mastered EP contains its six original songs, including fan-favourite single, ‘Thinning’, as well as Snail Mail’s cover of Courtney Love’s ‘The 2nd Most Beautiful Girl In The World’, an alternative version of which was previously only available as an Amazon exclusive. Habit, was Matador Records’ introduction to Jordan’s standout vocals, lyrics, technical skills, and compositions that led to their signing of Snail Mail, right around her 18th birthday in 2017.
