Check Out the New Moon OST

By Jason Lake

If you're looking for a review of the New Moon soundtrack, I'm glad you came by. The thoughts that might be running through your head are probably similar to the thoughts that I had when I first saw the lineup of bands that contributed original music to this soundtrack.

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.

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.

Nonetheless, some of the finest names in indie rock are present on this soundtrack, and we should be grateful for it. While there's absolutely no need to see this movie if New Moon isn't your cup of tea, there's every reason to check this album out if indie rock is your thing.

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.

There are some truly original compositions on this CD, and many of them would be standout tracks on any of these artists' original albums. That says enough about the quality of this release.

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. - 18758
