Snail Mail releases cover of "Tonight Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins

Snail Mail (Lindsey Jordan) has dropped her take on The Smashing Pumpkins’ song "Tonight Tonight", which was recorded for the underground film, I Saw The TV Glow.

In addition to the song appearing on the soundtrack, Snail Mail also made her feature film acting debut in the Jane Schoenbrun-directed film.

Snail Mail says: “This all came together really serendipitously. We had been working on this cover to play on the Valentine tour, before I got the part. It came up early on because I have a tattoo on my right arm of the man in the moon to commemorate the first ever science fiction film, A Trip to the Moon and the Smashing Pumpkins video for ‘Tonight, Tonight’. While reading the script, I discovered the arch nemesis of the Pink Opaque is inspired by the same imagery. I told Jane we were doing this cover in NYC, they came and saw it live, and the rest was herstory.”

Snail Mail's cover of "Tonight Tonight" is out now.
