Anyone who follows the indie rock music scene may have already discovered the New Moon soundtrack. I heard it for the first time a few days ago and I'd like to give a quick review.

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.

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.

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.

With big names like Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Thom Yorke, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and others, this is the best compilation CD I've heard since Dark Was the Night came out earlier this year.

The guitar based songs here are great, and some thrilling solos capture the vampire essence of the movie throughout. The electronic based tracks are pretty intriguing too, with a spooky feel to them that blends right into the theme of the soundtrack.

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.
