Hurricane Bells’ song ’Monsters’ was featured on the New Moon soundtrack.  Spinner has the music video for ‘Monsters’.   There are no clips from New Moon in the music video.

A supernatural video treatment is fitting for the song, which can be found on the soundtrack for ‘New Moon,’ the second film in the vampire-werewolf world of the ‘Twilight’ series. The track didn’t make it onto the debut Hurricane Bells album, ‘Tonight Is the Ghost,’ but it did come to fruition during the same time period.

“‘Monsters’ was written a while back, along with a batch of songs that later became the Hurricane Bells record,” Schiltz explains. “I liked the combination of the kind of catchy little melody with the more sinister lyrics. I recorded it in 2008 and decided it didn’t fit on ‘Tonight is the Ghost,’ so I left it off, and eventually the ‘Twilight’ folks got a hold of it.”

 The music video does not have Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen strutting across the school parking lot or any New Moon clips. *sigh*  It is still a cute music video and I love the song.

According to Amazon, The Twilight Saga: New Moon The Score soundtrack by Alexandre Desplat will be released on November 20th.  Mark Morton for Soundtracks Examiner recently reviewed the score.

“New Moon” is a fantastic opener, because it practically carries you to this other world, while offering hints at what to expect throughout the proceeding experience. As standard fare for Desplat involves heavily-stringed emotional outpouring, New Moon is no exception. However, he injects a serpentine quality that recalls classic vampire films from previous eras. You can definitely hear echoes of Elliot Goldenthal’s Interview with the Vampireand Wojciech Kilar’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Even flavors of John Williams’ Dracula score from 1979 add inspirational texture to Desplat’s work.

Read the rest of Mark Morton’s review at Examiner.com, and order a copy at Amazon now.

Listen for yourself after the break!  What do you think of the New Moon score?

SPIN.com has another great feature on the coverage from last night’s Hot Topic New Moon Mall Tour in Los Angeles.  From the performances by Anya Marina, Death Cab for Cutie, Band of Skulls, and Sea Wolf to the appearances by the New Moon Cast, it sounded like an unforgettable night.

The scene was electric outside of Los Angeles’ Hollywood & Highland open-air mall on Friday evening. A huge line snaked out into the streets, and much of the crowd looked strikingly similar: gaggles of teenage girls (plus guys, moms, dads, and little ones) in black T-shirts emblazoned with five key words: The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Awaiting them inside? Autographs and a Q&A with the film’s supporting cast, plus courtyard performances from four bands who contributed to New Moon’s excellent soundtrack: Band Of Skulls, Sea Wolf, Anya Marina and, to close it out, Death Cab For Cutie.

In other words, this was the Hot Topic-sponsored New Moon mall tour.  

I wish I was there!  All the great performances, plus the New Moon eye candy all together!!!  Check out the rest of the feature with the music set list and some more pictures here!
