Lakeshore Records has announced a soundtrack album for the Mexican thriller Days of Grace (Dias de gracia). The album features the film’s music by a number of top composers, including Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Atticus Ross (The Social Network) and Shigeru Umebayashi (House of Flying Daggers). Also included is a cover version of the classic song Summertime performed by actress Scarlett Johansson and produced and arranged by Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack fame and Tim Goldsworthy. The soundtrack will be released digitally on April 10, 2012. The CD version will be coming out on May 8 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Days of Grace directed by Everardo Gout is set in Mexico City and weaves together three kidnappings that take place during the soccer World Cup tournaments in 2002, ’06 and ’10. The 2002 segment is scored by Cave & Warren, the 2006 segment by Atticus & Leopold Ross and Claudia Sarne (The Book of Eli) and the 2010 segment features music by Umebayashi. The film premiered at last year’s Cannes Film Festival and is scheduled to be released in a number of territories later this year.
