A deluxe edition of the soundtrack to Fox Searchlight Pictures' hit anti-romantic comedy (500) Days of Summer will be made available exclusively on iTunes beginning July 28th. This digital-only version features three new tracks that were sung by the actors in the film: the Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood classic "Sugar Town," sung by Zooey Deschanel, and The Pixies' "Here Comes Your
Man," which is sung by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
(500) Days of Summer (Music from the Motion Picture) climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Soundtrack chart and No. 6 on the iTunes album overall chart thanks to its quirky mix of "just-under-the-radar" bands like the Temper Trap and the Doves, alongside nostalgic powerhouses like the Smiths and Simon & Garfunkel, as Billboard magazine described it. Other critics have weighed in with the New York Observer calling it "an infectious nostalgia-baiting soundtrack with the Smiths, Belle and Sebastian, and Regina Spektor, Elle calling it "irresistible," and People dubbing it their soundtrack of the week.
(500) Days of Summer is the feature film directorial debut from Marc Webb, a noted music video director who has lensed clips for such artists as Regina Spektor, My Chemical Romance, Weezer, and Green Day.
