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.
