Passion Pit to be Featured on the ‘Breaking Dawn - Part 2′ Soundtrack
It really seems like music and the Twilight Saga movies have always gone hand-in-hand. With the wait for each movie, we also wait excitedly to see who will be featured on the accompanying soundtrack. Perhaps it’s because Stephenie Meyer posted those original playlists with her books and gave so much credit to Muse, but whatever the reason - the Saga and music just go together. Finally we’re starting to hear some rumors about the soundtrack for Breaking Dawn - Part 2, and according to Pitch Fork.com, the band Passion Pit will be featured on the new soundtrack - neither the music or name of the track have yet been released. Read more below:
If you’ve heard a single synth squiggle of his music over the last three years, there’s a good chance you’ve underestimated Michael Angelakos’ ambition and complexity. On the brink of the festival-sized Gossamer, he also recently worked with Usher and Nelly Furtado, and has been sought out by other pop heavyweights including Britney Spears. He wants to make a piano-based solo album in the vein of one of his musical heroes, Randy Newman. Talking about upcoming videos, he mentions bold names like Terrence Malick, Faye Dunaway, Sofia Coppola, and Jake Gyllenhaal as potential collaborators, though none are confirmed as of yet.
His music will be featured as part of the soundtrack to the final installment of the Twilight film series later this year. (He’s hoping to convince Kristen Stewart to star in a future Passion Pit video, too.) Angelakos turned 25 in May, and he’s been so busy that, in the week leading up to it, he forgot what day his birthday was.

Thanks for the tip Tea!
I’m feeling a bit *meh* about this news. I guess we’ll see what the song sounds like, you really never know. I saw Passion Pit open for Muse when Muse was on tour, and didn’t fall in love, but you never know what could be written for the movie!
What do you think of Passion Pit being on the soundtrack for Breaking Dawn - Part 2?
