Random comments/searches say this cover of New Order's "Ceremony" is by Fall On Your Sword.

Can anyone confirm this?
 
This is a reply to an e-mail to a Press contact listed on the Absolut.com "Anthem" ad page:

Dear mr. Allen,

Thank you for your interest in ”Anthem”.

The “Anthem” sound-track is a re-interpretation of the iconic song “Ceremony”, originally sung only once, live, by Joy Division and never recorded in the studio until the band reincarnated itself as New Order.

For the “Anthem” spot, ABSOLUT wanted a unique version of the song, modern but still performed with respect and love for the original recording. The assignment was commissioned to the experimental music collaboration Fall on Your Sword, known for their unmistakable flair and attention to detail. They embraced the challenge and came up with a recording that complements and enhances the content of the spot.

The version of “Ceremony” used in “Anthem” is currently not publicly available.

Kind regards
Cecilia Strandell
 
I saw Fall On Your Sword this weekend at Public Assembly and they performed this. They were brilliant.
