First Official Single from the Soundtrack!

Seth just update SM’s site with details about the first confirmed track on the NM soundtrack.The single in question, ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’, was written by Death Cab for Cutie:

Here is a statement from the band:

“We are very excited to be a part of this amazing series of novels set in our own backyard. It just seemed a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest. We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters. This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for a film and we are proud to be a part of the Twilight legacy.”

— Nick Harmer / Death Cab for Cutie
