Dark, moody and lovelorn, the album is the perfect companion piece to the film.

It’s a year later and unless you’ve been living in a coffin, Twilight fever has gripped the world (which, of course, means you know that the Cullens don’t live in coffins anyway, obviously.)

If the first movie’s soundtrack set up the symbiotic relationship the saga has with music, the soundtrack to its sequel, New Moon, only solidifies it. Twilight author Stephenie Meyer has been consistently vocal about how much music inspired her while writing the books and it’s fascinating to now see the relationship come full circle. Every song on the soundtrack is exclusive to it and was written specifically for the movie, and with such indie heavy hitters as The Killers, Death Cab for Cutie, Thom Yorke and Muse contributing, you can bet that this album is as sparkling as Edward’s skin in sunlight.

Dark, moody and lovelorn, the album is the perfect companion piece to the film – or to your own supernatural romantic saga. So hit play and feel free to pine ceaselessly for that dangerous love that you know is only going to end in bloodshed.
