well kids, its happened. the twilight phenomenon has officially taken over the indie music world. as im sure many of you know by now, the next movie in the twilight series, new moon, is being released later this year and along with the release of the movie is the release of the soundtrack which is strangely full of many of our favorite artists like grizzly bear, muse, sea wolf, editors, lykke li, bon iver, and yes, even thom yorke. while im pretty tired of how twilight has taken over the world, i think the fact that we get some new tracks from all of these great artists is enough even to make perpetually bitchy looking twilight star kristin stewart smile.

the song sounds like classic thom yorke. pretty dark and pretty electronic. fortunately, i like this song way more than the last new thom yorke song i heard, the hollow earth. i have a feeling that most of the soundtrack is going to have this really dark feel about it, and i guess it will expose the teenybopper twilight fanatics to some of the excellent music thats out there, which i guess is a good thing, assuming that any shows of these acts are 18+. this intolerance of youngers is perhaps rooted in my seeing “where the wild things are” this past friday with tons of little children in the theater, and from my passion pit experience at lollapalooza. sorry kids.
