PJ Harvey and Harry Escott Collaborate On Dark River Theme

British composer Harry Escott has teamed with PJ Harvey for the song ‘An Acre of Land’, the theme for the movie Dark River.

Escott created the soundtrack for the movie. “Recording PJ Harvey’s vocal on “An Acre of Land”, a song we arranged together for Dark River, was a spine-tingling experience,” he said in a statement.

Harry Escott first came to prominence in 2005 with his score to the influential psychological horror film Hard Candy, directed by David Slade. Since then, Harry has worked with such stellar directorial talents as Eran Creevy on both Shifty and Welcome To The Punch; Michael Winterbottom on A Mighty Heart, The Road To Guantanamo, and Face Of An Angel; Clio Barnard on the multi award-winning The Arbor; and The Selfish Giant, a contemporary adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s short story; as well as Nick Broomfield on Ghosts; and perhaps most prominently, on Steve McQueen’s seminal debut film Shame.

Escott describes Dark River as ‘a film that leaves me wanting to take more care of those around me, which is a good thing for a film to leave you with!’

The film premiered at the 2017 London Film Festival from October 4th to 15th, and will be on general release on February 23rd, 2018.
