Atom Egoyan's Chloe (2010)

Film director Atom Egoyan included two songs from No Ghostless Place in his erotic thriller Chloe (2010). Parts of "We Were Never Young" and "Longer Shadows, Shorter Days" were performed live, with an appearance from Raised by Swans in the film. Additionally, the studio version of "We Were Never Young" was used in several scenes.[3]

In one particular scene, Egoyan overdubbed Amanda Seyfried singing a fictitious melody at the end of "We Were Never Young", to represent a haunting effect with respect to the storyline of the film.

With the release of Chloe in March 2010, Raised By Swans' international audience has grown considerably.
