With rhythmic riffs and a melodic voice, “Habit” is about the angst-filled years of high school. Seventeen-year-old Jordan hails from Ellicott City, Maryland, and sings about the most tumultuous stage of life – adolescence and all the phases within it. Snail Mail is Lindsey Jordan’s three-piece band that keeps on rocking the status quo in the indie-rock genre with their 2016 EP, “Habit.” Habit is out now on Sister Polygon Records. In the future and maybe do a longer tour next summer!
