Death Cab For Cutie are to release a new single - the first from the Official Sound Track to upcoming Vampire flick New Moon, the sequel to last year's Twilight.
The track's called 'Meet Me On The Equinox' and is out on October 26, one week after the release of the full OST, which features a whole host of indie luminaries like Bon Iver, Muse, Thom Yorke, Lykke Li, Grizzly Bear and, well, a lot more - see below.
All of the tracks are exclusive to the soundtrack, unlike those ones which are made up of offcuts or b-sides stuck together for a teen movie. It is, for my money, the best soundtrack related news since Butthole Surfers featured on the Mission Impossible 2 OST.
The full, star-studded, tracklisting for the OST is as follows:
- Death Cab for Cutie – 'Meet Me On the Equinox'
- Band of Skulls - 'Friends'
- Thom Yorke – 'Hearing Damage'
- Lykke Li – 'Possibility'
- The Killers – 'A White Demon Love Song'
- Anya Marina – 'Satellite Heart'
- Muse - 'I Belong To You' (New Moon Remix)
- Bon Iver & St. Vincent - 'Rosyln'
- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – 'Done All Wrong'
- Hurricane Bells - 'Monsters'
- Sea Wolf - 'The Violet Hour'
- OK GO – 'Shooting the Moon'
- Grizzly Bear – 'Slow Life'
- Editors – 'No Sound But the Wind'
- Alexandre Desplat – 'New Moon' (The Meadow)
