~ Peaky Blinders ~

Exclusive tracks from PJ Harvey, Richard Hawley and also features tracks by Nick Cave, Arctic Monkeys, David Bowie, Radiohead, Laura Marling, Foals and many more.

Since the fifth season of the massively popular BAFTA-winning series BBC drama wrapped up, fans are aching for their next hit of Peaky Blinders. On 15th November, UMC will release the first ever official soundtrack to the series (currently available on BBC’s iPlayer and on Netflix in more than 100 countries outside of the UK) that has captivated audiences across the globe. The soundtrack will be available on 2CD, 3LP and digital.

It’s not just the low tones of Nick Cave’s vocals in the opening theme tune that have become synonymous with the BBC’s Birmingham-based flagship gangster drama centred around Tommy Shelby, his family and their somewhat dubious business practices. Alongside the atmospheric opener, all the songs featured in the show have been painstakingly chosen to reflect the feel of the programme (the violence, the grit and the glamour), which was inspired by a real group of gangsters in post WW1 Birmingham.

The soundtrack features a previously unreleased rendition of the show’s iconic theme song, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ ‘Red Right Hand’. Only available on this release, the track was recorded specifically for the show by PJ Harvey and following its premiere this morning on BBC Radio 6 Music, it will be available to stream and download here: https://peakyblinders.lnk.to/RedRightHand.

The track has now been added to the station’s Playlist.

Also exclusively on the album areJehnny Beth’s ‘I’m The Man’ and Anna Calvi’s series 5 score, ‘You’re Not God’, along with Richard Hawley’s (Bob Dylan) ‘Ballad of A Thin Man’ on CD and vinyl for the first time.
