This Friday Lakeshore Records will digitally release the soundtrack for the film Booksmart, which features an original score by Dan “The Automator” Nakamura of Deltron 3030, Handsome Boy Modeling School, and Got a Girl fame (among his many, many other projects.) Arriving alongside a vinyl various artists soundtrack featuring songs from the film, Booksmart—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack includes eight original pieces of score by the cult producer behind classic albums like Gorillaz, Peeping Tom, and Dr. Octagonecologyst.

Booksmart will release in theaters that same day, May 24th. The R-rated coming-of-age comedy stars Kaitlyn Dever, Beanie Feldstein, and Jessica Williams, and is directed by Olivia Wilde (whose gave a harrowing performance in the recent revenge thriller A Vigilante, which we talked about here.)

We’re thriled to premiere Dan The Automator’s “Broke a Couple of Rules,” a funky, scratch-centric collage from his upcoming Booksmart score. You can listen to the stream below:

In theaters on Friday, Booksmart follows “two academic superstars and best friends who, on the eve of their high school graduation, suddenly realize that they should have worked less and played more. Determined never to fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night.”

You can watch the redband trailer for Booksmart below.

Booksmart—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack arrives digitally from Lakeshore Records on 5/24.
