Matador Records – the massively influential label and a personal longtime favorite – announced today that they’ve signed Snail Mail to their roster.  I went upstate last month to the newly re-designed and re-opened Outlier Inn (where I also recorded Parquet Courts’ Sunbathing Animal and Honduras’ Rituals) with the band and Jake Aron (my studio partner and the album’s producer) to do the basic tracking.  It sounds fantastic – the studio’s fun and beautiful, and the songs are a great progression from the first EP.  Jake’s mixing it this fall – it will be a good one!
