St Vincent joins the Twilight family



As the Twilight franchise steadily takes over the world, we seem to hear more and more about the forthcoming sequel, "New Moon".

But it's not just every tween and teen foaming at the mouth in anticipation of the release of this flick, as details have been released of a pretty impressive soundtrack.
The 15 track album is a mixed bag, full of brand new or exclusive tracks from artists such as Thom Yorke, The Killers, Muse, Lyke Li and Grizzly Bear.

Another noteable addition to the soundtrack is cabin-rock troubadour Bon Iver's track with St Vincent titled "Rosyln"

"He sings in his beautiful falsetto and I'm actually singing very, very low," St Vincent said of the collaboration.

"I think there's something vampirey and creepy about the two of us singing together. It's a simple, stripped-down kind of song. It's really elegant and beautiful."

"We recorded the song for the joy of it, and then it looked like the 'Twilight' people were interested in using the song for the movie," she explained. "So it pretty naturally happened."

The soundtrack is due for release this October.
