PJ Harvey has unveiled new track "An Acre Of Land", a collaborative cover of the traditional folk staple made with Harry Escott.
The song comes from the soundtrack for Dark River, a new thriller flick directed by Clio Barnard. Escott, who worked on the music for Hard Candy, The Road To Guantanamo, and Shame, is composing the score with Harvey.
Harvey's new film work follows Ramy Essam collab "The Camp" as well as one-off releases "A Dog Called Money", and "Dance On The Mountain". Latest LP The Hope Six Demolition Project is out now.
Dark River is out in the UK on 23 February.
