The New Moon soundtrack has quickly made a buzz in the indie music world, and deservedly so. If you haven't listened to it yet, here's a brief synopsis of the album.
I'm sure you may be wondering the same thing that most music fans think when they see the bands that they love on a soundtrack like this one.
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.
Look past the production that they've created this soundtrack for, and focus on the artists. They've put forth their best efforts on this release.
