PJ Harvey has covered Joy Division‘s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ for the second season of the Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters. For the show’s first season, Harvey collaborated with Tim Phillips to tackle the traditional American folk song ‘Run On’ and Leonard Cohen’s ‘Who By Fire’ in 2022, and the new cover finds her re-teaming with the composer. Take a listen below.
“It was a huge pleasure to be invited to step into the studio again with Tim Phillips to create the soundtrack for ‘Bad Sisters Season 2’,” Harvey said in a statement. “Having formed friendships with Tim and Sharon on season 1, there was a level of trust and openness which was conducive to creativity. Our version of ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ is full of the passion we hold for the original song, but also imbued with the spirit of the new series and its narrative.”
Phillips added: “I’m super excited to see the reaction to S2 of ‘Bad Sisters’ and I think audiences will love where this story goes next. It was a thrill to get back into the studio with Polly Harvey and make some new sounds, and the fact that most of the original production team returned made it even better!”
