JARV IS… This Is Going To Hurt. LP [Black Vinyl Edition]
ABOUT
JARV IS… have written & performed the original the soundtrack for the critically acclaimed BBC TV series
“This is Going to Hurt” is based on Adam Kay’s award-winning international multi-million-selling memoir of the same name.
The soundtrack was recorded at Narcissus Studios,
London by Drew Dungate-Smith during various sessions
throughout 2021. Most of the performances are live takes
featuring the entire band – often recorded whilst they
watched the playback of key sequences from the series.
Each episode features at least one song with lyrics by
Cocker, who had access to the scripts (adapted by Adam
Kay from his own book) from an early stage in the
production process.
JARV IS… is a band comprising Jarvis Cocker, Serafina
Steer, Emma Smith, Andrew McKinney, Adam Betts &
Jason Buckle. The soundtrack consists of a mixture of
songs & instrumental pieces, with Cocker & Steer being
the main composers. Cocker is quoted as saying “It’s our
love song to the NHS”.
Lead Director Lucy Forbes says “As one of England’s
finest lyricists and songwriters we could not have been
more thrilled to have Jarvis Cocker and his band write
original songs and score for This Is Going To Hurt. His
incisive wit, keen sense of observation and ability to write
beautiful heartfelt melodies was the perfect fit. His music
immediately intertwined with the fabric and tone of the
show and took it to a new level, getting right to the
heart of the pathos, pain and joy of working at the NHS. It
was a huge privilege to work with him on this project, and
I can’t imagine TIGTH without him.”
The series is based on Adam Kay’s award-winning
international multi-million selling memoir of the same
name, which has sold over 2.5 million copies to date and
has been translated into 37 languages. The series, which
is created, written and executive produced by Kay
himself, rejoices in the laugh-out-loud highs, while pulling
no punches in its depiction of the gut-wrenching lows of
life on a gynaecology and obstetrics ward.
