Also in 2013, working with Arnalds again, he contributed vocals to the song "So Close" for the British police procedural TV show Broadchurch; the song wasn't released until 2015, together with the track "So Far".[2] In 2014, he sang several songs on the soundtrack of the TV anime Terror in Resonance.[3] In 2017, Arnarson further contributed to the Broadchurch soundtrack, with "Take My Leave of You".[4]
