New Moon Headed for the Oscars?
Posted by Nim • 6 Comments »

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.

Q&A: Inside the New Moon Soundtrack
Posted by Nim • 13 Comments »

Spin.com has an interview with Alexandra Patsavas, the musical director behind the New Moon soundtrack.

How you go about something like New Moon, which features original songs from so many artists who don’t often appear in projects this high-profile?

The work starts as soon as the script is finished and distributed. Chris Weitz, the director, had a very specific point of view about how he wanted the music to feel. There’s a lot of separation and longing and loss in the movie; the bands and lyrics and sound and arrangements had to reflect that. Some folks, like Lykke Li, the Killers, Grizzly Bear, OK Go, and Anya Marina all came into the cutting room and sat with Chris to watch the movie and talk about their contributions. Other tracks were submitted with the movie in mind. I think it’s very difficult to succeed without any context.

A lot of people were surprised by Thom Yorke’s inclusion. How did that come about?

A Radiohead song ["15 Step"] played over the end titles of Twilight, so we had a relationship. I believe this is the first soundtrack he’s been on in a long time, so that’s exciting. A lot of bands were interested in submitting great material, which helps a lot.
