Death Cab talk 'Twilight' track

Death Cab For Cutie have reportedly spoken about their upcoming contribution to the soundtrack for the Twilight sequel.

'Meet Me On The Equinox' has been chosen as the lead single for New Moon's score, which is due to accompany the film's release in November.

In an interview with MTV, the band's bassist Nick Harmer revealed that the group had "no idea" the song would prove so popular with producers.

"It's been an exciting process, because we've been so removed from it," he explained.

"We were in LA for a week and we went into the studio and wrote and recorded the song and submitted it. We didn't know where anything stood, and then we just got a call last week, like, 'Guess what - your song has been chosen as the first single'."

Harmer added that it was a coincidence that the band's lyrical influences suited the vampire picture, which stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

"Basically the Twilight series is about love, and that's a major theme for us," he said. "So, it wasn't difficult for us at all."
