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.

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.

This is different from most soundtracks in the sense that I doubt these bands have ever even watched the show. In fact, these are the last bands I’d expect to see on a show that appeals to teens with an affinity for pop culture.

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.

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.

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.

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.
