ugh, is the new moon st going to be the next best comp?

Twilight: New Moon, the soundtrack, is gaining a lot of indie momentum apparently.  To the point, where I guess I can’t ignore it.  Death Cab will have their song “Meet Me On the Equinox” as the first single and it’s streaming here at MTV.  There have already been a few confirmations of Thom Yorke and Bon Iver on the compilation.  Now, NYT is reporting that Grizzly Bear will be on it too!? Will one of the best soundtracks emerge from one of the worse movies? I’m a bit bewildered, honestly.

Grizzly Bear – While You Wait For The Others.  The song’s single release includes a Michael McDonald collab where he sings lead vocs.  Oh, this video is superb, too.

Fever Ray – Seven.  Typical Fever Ray…which means I enjoy the morbidness.

Sunset Rubdown – Black Swan.  Dark video with some fine, fine effects.

beach house on sub pop

Releasing one of my favorite albums last year, Beach House has made a move from their original label, Carpark, to indie-giant Sub Pop.  New album is expected for 1st quarter of 2010.  Currently touring with Grizzly Bear…looks like they’re aggressively seeking listeners -> even greater success.  Hotshit indie band of 2010? Sub Pop announcement.
