Great Music and Vocals on New Moon OST

By Jason Barry

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.

I'm sure you may be wondering the same thing that most music fans think when they see the bands that they love on a soundtrack like this one.

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.

Usually, the list of bands contributing to a soundtrack will match up well with the type of audience a movie draws in. In this case, it seems completely different. I'd more likely expect a lineup that contributed to a show like Gilmore Girls here.

Whatever their motives were for agreeing to do this together, the end result is pretty fascinating. I've found myself listening to this soundtrack quite a bit since I got it last week, and while I'll never see the movie, I'll definitely be listening to this some more.

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's great songwriting, great guitar work, and a lot of music that basically sums up the current state of indie rock. I'm very impressed with this album on a whole, as are many well respected music critics.

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. - 18423
