Snail Mail has dropped a surprise cover of The Smashing Pumpkins 1996 hit, ‘Tonight, Tonight’.
The uplifting take on Billy Corgan’s original was recorded for the A24 indie film I Saw The TV Glow, which is officially released in Australia this month (August 29). Snail Mail, real name Lindsey Jordan, also makes her acting debut in the movie alongside fellow musicians Fred Durst and Phoebe Bridgers.
Jordan’s cover was originally meant to feature in the film but sadly didn’t make the cut, hence why it fails to appear on the digital version of the soundtrack (listen here). The good news is Snail Mail has shared the song herself online, and for those who are desperate for a physical copy, the song is included as a bonus track on the vinyl edition of the soundtrack you can pre-order here.
Speaking about the tune, she said: “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.”
