The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the second film in the “Twilight” series, uses indie rock for the sound of sad vampires. The 15-song soundtrack has plenty of gentle-voiced indie acts, including the Brooklyn bands Grizzly Bear and Hurricane Bells; the Swedish singer Lykke Li; Sea Wolf, a group from Los Angeles; and a collaboration between Bon Iver and St. Vincent.
