If you're like us, you've been jamming to the first single off the "New Moon" soundtrack, Death Cab for Cutie's "Meet Me On The Equinox," since its debut last month. But starting Wednesday, we'll have a treat for our eyes and ears when the Seattle-based band debut their music video.
MTV News caught up with DCFC on the Toronto set of the video (see our behind-the-scenes interviews with the band on set after the jump), a spooky old mansion decorated with stained glass windows, sepia-toned family photos and even a stuffed deer's head. "This is certainly the creepiest place we've ever shot a video, that's for sure," joked bassist Nick Harmer. "This mansion is haunted."
The creepy ambiance of the residence was only heightened by the unique lighting used for the shoot. "The song's called 'Meet Me On The Equinox,' and there's this whole day-night, sort of sunlight-moonlight sort of thing going on," said guitarist Chris Walla, explaining the concept of the video. "It's being lit in two pieces. Basically, like a compressed time sort of thing where through a verse of the song it will move from day to night in the course of like 20 seconds or something."
In addition to shots of the band playing, the video will include clips from the vampire romance sequel, a fitting marriage according to Nick.
"I've always been drawn to the 'Twilight' series because of the vampires and the werewolves," he said. "If you stripped all of that out, you just have a good romance novel; it's just a love story. And I think that really ties into the material we write as a band."
