Dragon Age II Gets... Florence and the Machine

BioWare and EA have announced that the Dragon Age II will feature a musical contribution from Florence and the Machine. Sort of, anyway.

Steve Schnur, a co-producer on the track, explains: “With the band’s full blessings and enthusiasm, we isolated Florence’s original vocals from one of their most unique songs and completely ‘Dragon-Aged' it. What was originally a powerfully stark, acoustic-based song has been reborn with all-new instrumentation and full orchestration. The results are an epic anthem for the next stage of the Dragon Age legend.”

That track is 'I’m Not Calling You a Liar'. An acoustic version of it can be found below. The other producer on the track is composer Inon Zur, with Jack Joseph Puig (he's worked with U2, The Rolling Stones, No Doubt and Green Day before now) having done the mix. It will appear in the soundtrack as 'I’m Not Calling You A Liar (Dragon Age II: Varric’s Theme)'.

EA has also said that the first part of the soundtrack will be available to download for £2.00 as of March 8th. It will include this lot:

- Dragon Age II Main Theme
