A Review of the New Moon Soundtrack

October 28th, 2009 by Lance Baker

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.

I’m still confused by the fact that these bands are on the New Moon soundtrack. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if half of these bands had never even heard of the show before they were asked to make music for it.

Regardless of the above, they’ve really contributed to this soundtrack with some exciting, relevant, and original compositions. This is truly one of the better indie compilations of the past few years, as surprising as that may sound.

There are more great bands on this soundtrack than just about any soundtrack I’ve heard within the last year or two. From Muse and Thom York to Bon Iver and St. Vincent, these are just a few of the many accomplished artists and bands on the New Moon soundtrack.

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.

Forget about what this was made for. These could all be the songs for a Hannah Montana soundtrack for all I care. If the music is this good, I’ll be buying it.
