First single has officially been confirmed for the New Moon Soundtrack!

Stephenie Meyer’s website has been updated today with information on the New Moon Soundtrack. The song is Meet Me On the Equinox by Death Cab for Cutie. The song was written exclusively for the New Moon Soundtrack. The exclusive premiere of the soundtrack album cover was also posted on the site which I posted above.

You can pre-order the soundtrack at Amazon which will be released October 20th.

Here is the statement from the band posted on Stephenie’s site:

“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

MTV also has an article stating that the song will be unveiled exclusively on MTV.com on September 13. MTV talked with the bassist of the group Nick Harmer. He talks about the song and Twilight. You can read the entire interview at MTV.
