It’s a breakthrough in indie music, definitely, when the next album you anticipate is a soundtrack. I absolutely love movie previews before the actual movie starts in the theatres. But really, if there’s a good music backing behind the preview, that’s what catches my attention. I will see a movie just because the anticipated soundtrack is going to blow my mind.

New Moon. Oh, the wonders of the Twilight series. Not the biggest fan compared to most, however, I will give its newfound musical taste some credit. The original Twilight movie was a bit on the creeperish side to me, and the Paramore single did not do it for me, at all, although a major Hayley Williams fan. Respectable yes, BUT what’s in store for the sequel creates the certain groveling imitating teenage girls to Edward Cullen. My very own second to favorite band, Death Cab for Cute will be featuring its, very newly and specifically for the movie, song called “Meet Me on the Equinox.” Ben Gibbard says he uses the motifs in the plotline to write this very own song which he was proud to submit. I can’t say I’m not anticipating just a new Death Cab song in general, but my also favorite Thom Yorke is also likely to be on this new soundtrack. Releases on October 20th, but catch Death Cab’s song on the MTV Music Awards on the 13th of September.

Where the Wild Things Are. Not gonna lie, first time I read this book was today, in the book store, in a span of two minutes or less. The first preview I had seen held me in by the spark of imagination the trailer was trying to describe. That, and the Arcade Fire song in the background. But you can’t blame me for that one. Not only do I want to see this movie, I also cannot wait for the soundtrack. All songs are original by Karen O., aka lead singer for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It seems like a perfect fit especially when hearing their first single, from Karen O. and the Kids, “All Is Love.” It’s a peaceful melody, with the careless whistle and vocals of a young high pitched voice. It certainly gives us a good idea of what she has in store for musically, and shows she will not disappoint. Full soundtrack out on the 29th of September.

Another soundtrack to touch up on, is the one for Jennifer’s Body. The more pop-rock feel is inscribed, but with the track listing it might be worth it.

Karen O. And The Kids – All Is Love
Death Cab For Cutie- Long Division
Thom Yorke – And It Rained All Night
