It’s been a minute since Snail Mail released Lush, one of the best debuts from an artist in recent memory. After touring hard behind that album, Lindsey Jordan stepped out of the spotlight. The album’s official biography (written by friend and fellow musician Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee) notes that Jordan went to a rehab facility in Arizona, which is where she started to sketch out the shape of her follow-up despite not having access to her instruments. Earlier this year, Jordan went to Durham, North Carolina and recorded her new album with Brad Cook in his studio there. And today she’s officially announcing her sophomore LP, Valentine, which will be out on Nov. 5.

“I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all,” Jordan said in a press release. “Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine is my child!”

Introducing the album is its opening and title track, which builds to a driving chorus delivered in Jordan’s distinctive mewl: “So why’d you wanna erase me?/ Darling, valentine/ You’ll always know where to find me/ When you change your mind.” It comes with a deliciously violent video directed by Josh Coll in which Jordan’s jealousy gets the best of her while she’s decked out in an elegant outfit.

“It was so rewarding concocting this video alongside the brilliant Josh Coll! Watching a few perverse images in my head metamorphose into this gorgeous storyline and eventually into a tangible visual was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” Jordan said. “We connected over a mutual interest in the intersection between terror and devastating beauty. But also Tim and Eric and watered down ginger ale, which I had to drink a shocking amount of in those drink-bombing scenes.”
