Caroline Polachek has shared a new song. “On the Beach” appears on the soundtrack for the new PlayStation 5 video game Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which arrives this week. The song, which comes alongside an alternate “Timefall Mix,” was coproduced with Danny L Harle and cowritten with Harle and Hideo Kojima, Death Stranding 2’s writer, director, and designer. Check out both versions of the song below.
“On the Beach” is Polachek’s first new track since last year’s “Starburned and Unkissed,” her contribution to the I Saw the TV Glow soundtrack. She also made a guest appearance on this year’s “Tell Me I Never Knew That,” taken from the London post-rock band caroline’s new album caroline 2. Polachek released her last studio album, Desire, I Want to Turn Into You, in 2023.
Death Stranding 2, the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster video game, is an adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic world featuring a star-studded cast of voice actors, including Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, George Miller, Nicolas Winding Refn, and more. The original Death Stranding’s soundtrack included original works by Chvrches, Major Lazer and Khalid, Bring Me the Horizon, and others.
