Hurricane Bells, who sang “Monsters” on the New Moon soundtrack, now have a video for the song!
A supernatural video treatment is fitting for the song, which can be found on the soundtrack for ‘New Moon,’ the second film in the vampire-werewolf world of the ‘Twilight’ series. The track didn’t make it onto the debut Hurricane Bells album, ‘Tonight Is the Ghost,’ but it did come to fruition during the same time period.
“‘Monsters’ was written a while back, along with a batch of songs that later became the Hurricane Bells record,” Schiltz explains. “I liked the combination of the kind of catchy little melody with the more sinister lyrics. I recorded it in 2008 and decided it didn’t fit on ‘Tonight is the Ghost,’ so I left it off, and eventually the ‘Twilight’ folks got a hold of it.”
Schiltz has one more interesting tidbit to share: “The car that is attacked by shopping carts in the video is now for sale on the Syracuse Craigslist page. The leader shopping cart is not for sale. Bill is keeping that.”
MTV caught up with Paramore’s Hayley Williams at the People’s Choice Awards. She talks a bit about not doing anything for the NM soundtrack and about being at People’s Choice.
It turns out that Lykke Li’s Possibility from the New Moon soundtrack may be eligible for an Oscar! The track made it on the list of songs that might be nominated in the Original Song category for the 82nd Academy Awards.
It’s the end of December, which means we’re knee-deep in the annual awards season. The nominations for the Golden Globe Awards came out earlier this week, and the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards nominees were announced this morning. Though the Academy Award nominations won’t be announced until February 2, the Oscars have sent out the list of the 63 original songs from films that will be eligible for a nomination in the Best Original Song category. There are a handful of soundtrack tunes from blockbusters (like Linkin Park’s “New Divide,” from “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”), plenty of foreign fare and a ton of Miley Cyrus tracks.
But there’s one song that really stands out: Lykke Li’s “Possibility,” which comes from the soundtrack to “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” The moody piece is one of the standouts from the excellent soundtrack (which also features Death Cab for Cutie, Thom Yorke and Muse) and could be the best shot that “New Moon” has at Oscar gold.
