Anyone who follows the indie rock music scene may have already discovered the New Moon soundtrack. I heard it for the first time a few days ago and I'd like to give a quick review.
If you know anything about the New Moon series and these bands, you're probably confused by the fact that all of these bands have produced original music for this soundtrack.
To be honest, I had never even heard of the show or the movie until I found out about the soundtrack recently. It wasn't until after reading a review for the album that I even knew what it was.
I'm still confused by the fact that these bands are on the New Moon soundtrack. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if half of these bands had never even heard of the show before they were asked to make music for it.
Whatever their motives were for agreeing to do this together, the end result is pretty fascinating. I've found myself listening to this soundtrack quite a bit since I got it last week, and while I'll never see the movie, I'll definitely be listening to this some more.
With big names like Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Thom Yorke, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and others, this is the best compilation CD I've heard since Dark Was the Night came out earlier this year.
The guitar based songs here are great, and some thrilling solos capture the vampire essence of the movie throughout. The electronic based tracks are pretty intriguing too, with a spooky feel to them that blends right into the theme of the soundtrack.
Forget about what this was made for. These could all be the songs for a Hannah Montana soundtrack for all I care. If the music is this good, I'll be buying it.
