New Moon soundtrack looks damn good

I am not a fan of Twilight. The books, the movies, the whole idea. I just never saw the appeal. However the soundtrack for the upcoming Twilight sequel, New Moon, may be a record that makes it into my collection.

Indie-rock fans are probably jizzing their skinny jeans over the recent announcement of the tracklisting for the soundtrack (via Consequence of Sound) that will accompany pale vampires on screen.

Bands like Band of Skulls, Bon Iver & St. Vincent, Grizzly Bear, The Killers, Thom Yorke of Radiohead and more will be contributing to what could be the coolest looking soundtrack I’ve seen in a good long while. Will this make me go see the movie? Not a chance but I will hit up my record store for a copy of this album. The full tracklisting is down below. Prepare to be wowed.

01. Death Cab for Cutie – Meet Me on the Equinox
02. Band of Skulls – Friends
03. Thom Yorke – Hearing Damage
04. Lykke Li – Possibility
05. The Killers – A White Demon Love Song

Amidst all the hoopla that the VMA’s provided last night, there was something that got overshadowed a bit. Last night the band Death Cab for Cutie released their new song “Meet Me On The Equinox” for you to check out over at MTV.com.

The song is actually from the New Moon soundtrack which is rumored to have bands like Muse, Band of Skulls and Thom Yorke providing music. Which is good because now all of the tween vampire fans can finally listen to some good artists. Check out the song up top. The soundtrack comes out on October 20th.

Let me remind everyone, before I begin writing this post, that I loathe the book series and the film series Twilight. I just don’t understand all the hype over it and don’t try to convince me to read it or watch it because I’ll probably just punch you in the knee. That being said, the soundtrack for the Twilight sequel New Moon is starting to look real good.

With artists like Thom Yorke, Bon Iver, Muse and Band of Skulls rumored to be on the record, this soundtrack is gearing up to be a indie vampire’s dream. But now it’s been confirmed that Death Cab for Cutie will definitely be on the soundtrack and they’ll release the first single called “Meet Me on the Equinox”. The song will debut on September 13th during the MTV Video Music Awards which is a perfect setting.

Bassist Nick Harmer talked about why the band wanted to be a part of this record. “It just seemed a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest. We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters. This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for a film and we are proud to be a part of the ‘Twilight’ legacy.”

The New Moon soundtrack will be in stores on October 20th.
