Snail Mail Infuses Nostalgia in A24’s ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ with a Smashing Pumpkins Cover

When Snail Mail, also known as Lindsey Jordan, announced her rendition of Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Tonight, Tonight,’ the indie music scene buzzed with anticipation. Her cover, weaved into the fabric of the A24 film ‘I Saw The TV Glow’, serves as a hauntingly beautiful homage to the original ‘90s hit. In the context of Jane Schoenbrun’s cinematic vision, this track adds layers of emotion and depth, underscoring the film’s narrative with its yearning melodies.
Lindsey Jordan’s passion project culminated in a surprising twist of fate, aligning impeccably with her feature film debut. The synchronicity is enchanting—Jordan’s affinity for the iconic band is permanently inked on her arm, reflecting her deep connection to the song’s transformative power.

The serendipitous cover echoes through live performances and has become woven into Snail Mail’s artistic expression. This creative journey extends beyond the sonic realm and into the visual, paying respect not only to the Smashing Pumpkins but also to film heritage, nodding to the luminary film ‘A Trip to the Moon.’
Fresh off the release of her ‘Valentine (Demos)’ EP and ahead of an array of eagerly awaited tour dates, Snail Mail continues to captivate fans with her heartfelt performances and evocative songwriting. The indie songstress is set to grace stages from New Hampshire to Pennsylvania, bringing her poetic blend of music to life under the summer skies.
