That’s quite a standard to hold oneself to, but it also explains the huge, operatic, and utterly contagious honesty of Lush. “The songs all had to have that moment for me where I feel like when I was playing live I could cry,” Jordan said in a recent, giddy interview with The New York Times. “In the end, you could waste your whole life,” she sings to someone she loves, which by the end of this journey could easily be herself, “Anyways, and I want better for you.” But the previous songs have warmed her up, and she’s now opened her heart wide enough to finish the thought. The song is more powerful because it is predicated by that false start-you know the struggle at stake for Jordan to express herself so completely.
She gives the song a real title this time, “Anytime,” and the once modest tune now has these hi-fi depths that engulf you in its world.

But about 30 minutes later-after Jordan has pulled you through a series of epic hooks and fluctuating emotions that crest and crash as tall as tidal waves-that melody will recur, although this time without the protective glass.
Frontwoman and guitarist Lindsey Jordan unceremoniously titles the first track “Intro,” and it’s a deadpan little shrug of a song, just some muted guitar and a melody sung as if behind a fogged pane of glass.
There’s a circularity to Lush, the tremendous first album from the Maryland band Snail Mail-a quality that becomes especially poignant when you take the record as a whole.
