The soundtrack for Twilight: New Moon hits stores on October 20 featuring artists such as Muse, Death Cab For Cutie, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, The Killers.

The video for Death Cab for Cutie‘s “Meet Me on the Equinox” has been released and it contains exclusive footage from New Moon. Watch the video, which shows the band performing cut with scenes from the upcoming film, here below.

Vanity Fair recently interviewed a few of the lesser-known bands on the soundtrack [well, lesser known to me at least] — Sea Wolf, OK Go, Bon Iver, and St. Vincent — asking each performer if they knew during which scene their song would appear, along with other questions about their career and their thoughts on Twilight.

Some of the musicians did know where their songs would appear; one in particular — Sea Wolf’s “The Violet Hour” — will be during a house-party scene. (We can guess which house party this is, right?)

Check out the Death Cab for Cutie video — it’s the perfect mood for the New Moon story and the lyrics are spot-on for this part of Bella and Edward’s relationship. I don’t typically go for this type of music, but damn, this song is stuck in my head. Yes, this is the first time I’m hearing this band ever. They sound like REM meets early 90’s Rush, which is cool with me.
