Lakeshore Records To Release 'Mother's Day' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ CineMedia Promotions) Lakeshore Records will release Mother's Day - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on May 1, 2012. The film is loosely based on the 1980 Troma cult classic.

From director Darren Lynn Bousman and producer Brett Ratner, starring Rebecca De Mornay and Jaime King, comes Mother's Day. After a bank robbery gone wrong, three brothers head for home….only to discover that their mother lost the house in a foreclosure. The new owners and their guests, gathered for an ill-timed birthday party, become the brothers' unwitting hostages. Their mother and sister arrive, and it soon becomes obvious that Mother will do absolutely anything to protect her children. In one terrifying evening, Mother brilliantly takes control of the situtation and masterminds her sons' escape. Sides will be taken, secrets revealed, and sins punished as the hostages struggle to make it through the night.

Composer and multi-instrumentalist Bobby Johnston's music has been featured extensively on the radio program "This American Life". Johnston's approach features organic and acoustic instruments, which he plays himself. The Mother's Day original soundtrack also features percussionist Greg Ellis, cellist John Krovoza and violinist David Markowitz.

Johnston was called 'a new voice in film' by Film Score Monthly, his soundtrack for King of the Ants earned him critical praise in film music circles. His credits also include Wristcutters: A Love Story, Edmond, No Impact Man and Spooner.
