Listen to the New Moon Soundtrack
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.
Why would indie bands be willing to contribute to the soundtrack of a teen vampire movie series? I was really surprised to see this, as there’s no way in the world I’d ever be interested in watching these movies.
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.
Some of the best names in indie rock are featured on this soundtrack. Some of them include Grizzly Bear, Thom Yorke, Lykke Li, and St. Vincent. These are truly some of the finest in the music world, and I’m impressed with the fact that the producers of this film were able to attract so many talented artists.
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.
If you’re willing to forget about the fact that this is actually the soundtrack for a teen vampire movie, you’ll be very pleasantly surprised with the result.
