Long time no chat! There's been a lot going on around here lately but I wanted to share some new music with you by way of the Breaking Dawn Soundtrack. The track list was released today and I was happy to see that I didn't know many (if any) of the artists. One of the things I enjoy most about the Twilight films is how they integrate little-known music artists into their soundtracks.
Take Florence + The Machine for example. She had a following, sure, but after the soundtrack? HUGE. Had you heard of Bon Iver before? (I had, but I won't judge ;) ) How about Beach House, Sea Wolf, St. Vincent or Sia? I LOVE getting to know the artists before the soundtrack is released and the Breaking Dawn soundtrack is no different.
There are quite a few artists on here who are new to me and a little different style than we've seen before. The original Twilight soundtrack was pretty "rock and roll," New Moon was relatively "indie" and Eclipse had more of a "pop" feel. I can't quite place Breaking Dawn but I like it.
I put together a playlist that you can download at the bottom of this post, but if you want to check out some of the individual artists, I've posted some soundcloud links below. I hope you guys enjoy the music!
