Back in May, we reported that French musician Anthony Gonzalez, aka electronic/dream pop band M83, had composed the score to Gilles Marchand’s out-of-competition Cannes film, “Black Heaven.” Well with the festival come and gone, it hasn’t taken long for details of his work to emerge, and even better, an official soundtrack release to be announced.
On July 5th, Naive will release the “Black Heaven” soundtrack to digital retailers everywhere (no word yet if a physical release is also on the horizon). The soundtrack boasts two new songs from M83 including “Black Hole” (which you can listen to here) and “Marion’s Theme,” along with five select cuts from his back catalog. Rounding out the disc are selections from the film’s score by Emmanuel D’Orlando and tracks by Moon Dailly and John & Jehn.
No word yet on if the film will reach North American shores, but we doubt it. The online gaming thriller didn’t seem to resonate with critics and we pretty much heard nothing about the film while we walked the Croisette last month.
