Snail Mail’s Lindsay Jordan made her acting debut in Jane Schoenbrun’s recent A24 film I Saw the TV Glow, and she also recorded a track for its indie star-studded soundtrack. Her rendition of the Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Tonight, Tonight’ is now available on streaming services. Listen to it below.
“This all came together really serendipitously. We had been working on this cover to play on the Valentine tour, before I got the part,” Jordan explained in a press release. “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.”
