Stephenie wrote on her web site the following notice

I just received the following announcement from Atlantic Records (the record label that produced the Twilight Soundtrack):

The first single has officially been confirmed for the New Moon Soundtrack! Death Cab for Cutie has written an exclusive song for the movie entitled ‘Meet Me On the Equinox.’ Below is a statement from the band about the song:

“We are very excited to be a part of this amazing series of novels set in our own backyard. It just seemed a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest. We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters. This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for a film and we are proud to be a part of the Twilight legacy.” — Nick Harmer / Death Cab for Cutie

Additionally, we have the exclusive premiere of the soundtrack album cover below! The soundtrack will be in stores on October 20th, 2009, stay tuned for more information!

From MTV:

“Though “New Moon” director Chris Weitz confirmed at Comic-Con that Thom Yorke and Bon Iver will contribute songs to the sequel’s soundtrack, the track list remains far from complete. One artist dazzling the “Twilight” fandom is Australian singer Lee Safar, whose “I’m Here” has been a rumored contender for the “New Moon” LP. MTV News spoke with Safar, who confirmed that “I’m Here” is being considered and revealed exclusively that a second song is also in contention.

The second track, “Take Me Away,” is an unreleased recording from Safar’s upcoming album and was produced by Linkin Park collaborator Jeff Blue. Safar described the song as dark and powerful, and said it resonates well with Bella’s lovesick werewolf BFF.

“It very much explores the pain that Jake feels from loving Bella, while having to stand by and watch her pain and not be able to love her the way he wants to love her,” Safar explained.

A self-proclaimed “massive fan” of the “Twilight” saga, Safar’s introduction to the series was a pure stroke of luck. While staying at a friend’s home in London, Safar passed along a copy of her debut album Who I’ve Become to a fellow houseguest, who felt her music’s ethereal vibe would be a perfect fit for a certain vampire romance.

“He said, ‘I’m going to take you to see something today. This movie needs your music in it. Have you seen “Twilight”?’ I told him that I hadn’t even heard of it, but was intrigued. We went that day and saw the movie and I was immediately obsessed. I could identify with so many of the characters in ‘Twilight.’ ”

With the help of her new friend, Safar’s songs caught the attention of U.K. “Twilight” vlogger Emma Clark, who posted them to her YouTube account. The tunes garnered 4,000 hits in 24 hours, with fans commenting in droves on which of Safar’s tracks would be a perfect for “New Moon.” Safar is now working with a L.A.-based attorney to get one, if not both, songs included in the sure-to-be blockbuster. “

You can listen to Lee’s track “I’m Here” on her MySpace page.
