More 'New Moon' Soundtrack Details Revealed
Music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas is 'confident' Thom Yorke, Bon Iver and Band of Skulls tracks will be included.
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is one of the most feverishly anticipated film releases of the fall (out November 20), and with it comes one of the most talked-about soundtracks since, well, last year's "Twilight" soundtrack. One song has already been unleashed, as Death Cab for Cutie unveiled their contribution "Meet Me on the Equinox" on MTV.com during Sunday's VMAs. The full track list will be announced Friday, but there are already more details emerging about the album, due out October 20.
Music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas told The New York Times that she was "confident" the soundtrack would include already-rumored tracks from Radiohead's Thom Yorke, wintry indie folker Bon Iver and British alt-rockers Band of Skulls. Citing "group representatives," the Times also asked about rumors that the Killers and Grizzly Bear would have songs on the soundtrack, but Patsavas would not comment on either band.
She did talk about the album's thematic elements, though, explaining that it would be married to the film much closer than the "Twilight" soundtrack was. "This is a much more somber movie than 'Twilight,' " Patsavas said. "There is a lot of love lost, so the artists that are going to make up the soundtrack reflect that longing — a lot of acoustic instruments, a lot of a cappella singing."
When the "Twilight" soundtrack was released last year, it was brought to Hot Topic stores for premiere listening parties, but this time around, they hope to take the promotion up a notch: Atlantic Records, the label that distributes the soundtracks, plans to do a tour of Hot Topics with some of the contributing artists in tow.

Death Cab For Cutie Talk Edward Vs. Jacob On 'New Moon' Video Set
By their own admission, only one-fourth of Death Cab for Cutie have actually read anything from the "Twilight" series (guitarist Chris Walla, we're looking at you), but that hasn't stopped them from penning the first single from the upcoming "New Moon" soundtrack, "Meet Me on the Equinox."
And that hasn't stopped them from weighing in on one of the series' central conflicts — the whole Team Edward vs. Team Jacob thing — when we visited the set of the "Equinox" video in Toronto on Wednesday.
"OK, so again, having only finished the second book, I feel like I'm sort of out on a limb a little bit, because I haven't started the third book," Walla told MTV News. "So I'm really excited to see the film and sort of see if I feel like I'm still out on a limb. Like, I love Jacob. He's great. In the middle of the book, he's the one who's taking care of Bella, and, like, where's Edward? What is he doing? What an a--hole! But he comes through in the end, and, you know, we'll see what happens."
So there you go: Chris Walla thinks Edward Cullen is an a--hole. And that wasn't the only revelation Walla had for us on the "Equinox" set. Apparently, there currently exists a five-hour version of the "New Moon" film — and, no, he hasn't seen it either.
"We were invited to see a cut that was five hours long. It didn't have any effects or Foley or music or anything in it. And we couldn't make the schedule work, because it was five hours long," Walla laughed. "We haven't seen anything more than anyone else has seen. We've seen the trailer, and that's really about it. ... I think the trailer looks great. There was the one scene where Jacob explodes into the werewolf, and it's like, 'How are they gonna pull that off? What are they gonna do?' And it looks great. So I feel like the whole thing is really going to work."
And while we'll have more information about the "Equinox" song — which premieres September 13 on MTV.com — and video in the coming days (trust us, it looks great), there's still one more bit of information we'd like to leave you with: Walla wants you to know that he's planning to finish the "Twilight" series very shortly. So if you run into him on the street, don't reveal how the whole Jacob/Edward thing plays out, OK?
"I'm a big fan of everything I've read so far. I've read both the first books, and it's kind of perfect for me, because I stopped after 'New Moon,' and I'm waiting to pick up on the next book," he said. "As this thing kinda gets going, I think I'm actually gonna dive into the third book. I really can't wait to see how it all ends up."

Exclusive: 'New Moon' Song By Death Cab For Cutie To Be Unveiled On MTV.com September 13
Death Cab for Cutie's contribution to the "New Moon" soundtrack, "Meet Me on the Equinox," will premiere on MTV.com on September 13, the day of the Video Music Awards.
In an exclusive interview with MTV News, DCFC bassist Nick Harmer talked about the song — which will be the lead single from the second film in the "Twilight" series — and the mysterious way it ended up on the most-anticipated soundtrack of the year.
"We didn't expect it would be chosen for the first single — we were thinking it would be a part of the soundtrack, maybe," Harmer laughed. "I have no idea if ['Twilight' author] Stephenie Meyer approved it or what. It's been an exciting process, because we've been so removed from it. We were in L.A. for a week and we went into the studio and wrote and recorded the song and submitted it. We didn't know where anything stood, and then we just got a call last week like, 'Guess what — your song has been chosen as the first single.' "
Harmer is the first to admit that Death Cab and "Twilight" seem like an unusual pairing (only guitarist/producer Chris Walla has read the entire series), but upon closer inspection, they actually have plenty in common: most of which has to do with geography and, of course, matters of the heart.
"The big connection for us is 'Here's a wildly popular book series about vampires — which are awesome — set in the Northwest,' and we happen to be from the Northwest as well, so there's this sort of hometown pride kind of thing going on," Harmer said. "I'm kind of happy that Stephenie Meyer put Forks, Washington, on the map for the entire globe.
"I think that a lot of our songs in general concern a lot of the things the main characters in the books are going through: There's a lot of stuff about relationships beginning and ending, and the questioning that happens around being in love and falling out of love," he continued. "That's a comfort zone for us, so a lot of the lyrical content [frontman] Ben [Gibbard] writes also happens to line up with what the characters are going through in the film. Basically the 'Twilight' series is about love, and that's a major theme for us. So, it wasn't difficult for us at all."
As for the song itself, Harmer describes it as "pretty dark and brooding, lyrically," and though it was written specifically for the "New Moon" film, don't expect it to vary much from the Death Cab formula.
"I'm pretty sure Ben didn't try to write a song from the perspective of one of the characters from the novel. The emotional stuff is what he homed in on, because that's what we do," he said. "It's an uptempo song ... it fits right into the Death Cab canon. The lyrics are darker and brooding, the music is a little more up. I don't know if it's a rock song ... when you hear it, you'll think, 'Yep, that's a Death Cab song.' "
