The Twilight Saga: New Moon | CD review

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:10:09 +0000

The soundtrack to the second instalment of the inescapable vamp romance may prove an unexpected pleasure. Instead of target market-chasing pop punk and watered-down emo, it supplies an intriguing blend of cult collaborations (Grizzly Bear with Beach House) and stadium rock acts (the Killers, Muse) channelling their inner goth. Not everyone gets it right: florid witterings about the equinox do college rockers Death Cab For Cutie no favours but highlights include Thom Yorke's "Hearing Damage", a lovely slice of crepuscular pop, and "Roslyn'" which twines Bon Iver's falsetto with Brooklyn singer St Vincent's dreamy tones to atmospheric effect.

For his part, the Radiohead frontman submitted the unreleased, exclusive solo track, 'Hearing Damage.' "The track is physically transcendent, gorgeous and used at a key moment, almost in its entirety, in the movie," Patsavas reveals.
