First single of New Moon Soundtrack Announced!

Stephenie Meyer just posted some New Moon soundtrack info on her site!!! It seems the first single off the OST will be from Death Cab for Cutie! :) If you don't know this band yet, wake up and learn! These guys are a PERFECT fit for TWI. I mean with song titles like "I Will Follow You into the Dark", they were tailor made.

The only bummer on the OST front is that Kings of Leon are officially NOT going to be part of the line up. Guess we'll have to wait for Breaking Dawn when "Sex on Fire" is too appropriate to exclude. (wink, wink)

To prove this news' legitimacy, here's Summit's press release:
“After months of speculation, Atlantic and Chop Shop Records have announced that the first single from the upcoming New Moon Soundtrack will be Death Cab for Cutie’s ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’. Fans will be able to hear the song, which was written exclusively for the soundtrack, in its entirety for the first time September 13th on MTV.COM during the MTV VMAs.”


OME!!! Did you catch that last part?!? September 13th is not only Bella's birthday, but also our first listen of the NM OST!!! :)

Bassist Nick Harmer talks a bit (it's very brief) about Meet Me on the Equinox- the before mentioned single. [Never fear. As soon as this single is available I will post it.]
“We are very excited to be a part of this amazing series of novels set in our own backyard. It just seemed a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest. We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters. This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for a film and we are proud to be a part of the Twilight legacy.” — Nick Harmer / Death Cab for Cutie
