"New Moon" Track List Reveals New Music From Thom Yorke, Killers, Muse

The track list for the upcoming soundtrack for Twilight sequel New Moon was revealed today on author Stephanie Meyer's official Website. In addition to Death Cab for Cutie's first single "Meet Me on the Equinox," the soundtrack will feature contributions from Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Muse, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver (who duets with fellow Breaking artist St. Vincent) and the Killers.

As it turns out, Yorke's song on the New Moon soundtrack is neither of the two tracks featured on his new single "Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses" b/w "The Hollow Earth." The Radiohead frontman has recorded a new song called "Hearing Damage" for the disc, which is out October 20th, a month to the day before New Moon hits theaters. The Killers also provided a new track called "A White Demon Love Song," while Muse remixed their The Resistance song "I Belong to You for the soundtrack.

New Moon will also feature new music from Lykke Li, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Band of Skulls, Sea Wolf, Hurricane Bells, Anya Marina, Editors and the film's composer Alexandre Desplat. OK Go, who gave the film a new track called "Shooting the Moon," talked to Rolling Stone earlier this year about their tune, which they described as a sad song written from the perspective of an astronaut.

1. Death Cab For Cutie - "Meet Me On The Equinox"

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
