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.
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.
You might be like me in this case. I had no idea what New Moon was, and it's probably because I have no connection to that demographic and I'm by no means interested in a show or movie about vampires.
Usually, the list of bands contributing to a soundtrack will match up well with the type of audience a movie draws in. In this case, it seems completely different. I'd more likely expect a lineup that contributed to a show like Gilmore Girls here.
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.
There are more great bands on this soundtrack than just about any soundtrack I've heard within the last year or two. From Muse and Thom York to Bon Iver and St. Vincent, these are just a few of the many accomplished artists and bands on the New Moon soundtrack.
There's great songwriting, great guitar work, and a lot of music that basically sums up the current state of indie rock. I'm very impressed with this album on a whole, as are many well respected music critics.
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. - 29772
