“Pristine” is the lead single released from Snail Mail’s debut album "Lush".

It received a positive response and earned “Best New Music” from Pitchfork.

In the song, frontwoman Lindsey Jordan sings about not being able to let go of the thought of a person, most likely an ex-lover.

"“Pristine” in particular is very sarcastic and melodramatic in nature. It’s almost like punching Habit in the face and going, “You idiot.”" - via Consequence of Sound

Lindsey has stated that she took inspiration from the song “Incinerate” by Sonic Youth when writing “Pristine.”

Lindsey recorded “Pristine” in Simlish for The Sims 4: Island Living.
