Believe me when I say this, posting something about Twilight is the last thing I wanted to do but when I was enlightened on this soundtrack it blew my pants straight off. Honestly, this soundtrack is stunning. I’ve been waiting for many moons (pun-intended) for a compilation to de-thrown the almighty Garden State soundtrack and that day has finally come. This album boasts huge bands ranging mostly in the alternative indie genre but still packs an insane punch. Heading the cavalery is the Death Cab for Cutie song (Meet Me On The Equinox) which is everything it was built up to be and is coupled by some other monumentally epic songs from Thom Yorke, The Killers, Muse, and the list only gets better. CHECK IT!

Death Cab For Cutie – Meet Me On The Equinox

For most people watching the summer come and go is a tough pill to swallow. But we have a feeling that the band members from Death Cab For Cutie will be using blood to wash down that pill this time around, and they’ll be doing it with a smile.

With the newest chapter of The Twilight Saga, “New Moon“, already in post-production, the soundtrack to the film has started to be put in place with Death Cab landing in the lead single slot. The song, appropriately titled “Meet Me On the Equinox”, was specifically written and composed for the sequel by the Grammy nominated indie rock band. The song is set to be unveiled Sept. 13 on MTV’s website during the Video Music Awards broadcast. Billboard.com hinted at some other artist’s who might be on the new soundtrack as well, “While no other artists are yet confirmed, music industry sources have the sound headed in a more indie-centric direction than the first ‘Twilight’, with  Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear and Muse all in the running.”

The soundtrack for Twilight, the first film of the saga and the massive  shadow that New Moon will try to shake,  debuted on the Billboard 200 at  No. 1 and sold 2.2 million copies…lets see if the little brother can unseat his older sibling.

The soundtrack to New Moon will be out October 20th, 2009. While the film is set to hit theaters a month thereafter.
