Death Cab For Cutie Talk New Moon Song

The band speak to MTV News…

Death Cab For Cutie have spoken to MTV News about their song Meet Me On The Equinox being chosen for the soundtrack to The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

That track will be the main single for the film release and the group have already filmed a video.

And although they couldn’t get Rob Patz especially for the clip Death Cab’ still put in effort. Guitarist Chris Walla told us:

“The whole idea behind the video is that this house that we're in, this crazy ski lodge of a building here, it's going to get cut together with scenes from the film.

“Sort of like it's a place that might be in Forks, sort of a place that might be next door to Bella's house or something.

“All the light stuff that's happening through the windows, it's the 'day-turning-into-night-turning-into-day thing,' the idea is that it's supposed to look like a time-lapse thing, only it's not actually a time-lapse thing, and it's quite a trick.

He continued: “There's a 50-foot crane outside that some series of structural engineers are operating. It's pretty remarkable, I mean, like it's daylight right here, and it's pitch-black right behind us. It's kinda nuts.”

The full tracklisting for the New Moon soundtrack has yet to be announced- but the director previously hinted it would feature Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke.
