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.
If you know anything about the New Moon series and these bands, you're probably confused by the fact that all of these bands have produced original music for this soundtrack.
I didn't even have a clue as to what New Moon was before I read a review for this album. I don't watch the WB and I had no interest in seeing such a movie. I still have no interest in doing so, but I do love the soundtrack.
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.
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. - 23815
