If you're a fan of the Twilight movies, you might be one of the few people who has heard of Imperial Mammoth. Getting a song on the soundtrack of Breaking Dawn was a big breakthrough for the pair.
Leonard and Laura have been a couple a lot longer than they've been a band. They had been working on separate musical projects. Then, when Laura was recovering from knee surgery, they started to write songs together and they liked the sound of their voices harmonizing and found the simplicity of this new setting exhilarating and freeing. Think Civil Wars or Arcade Fire. The Twilight soundtrack was just a shot in the dark. The couple just thought, "Why Not?" and sent the song in cold to the Twilight people. Months later, they got a call that their song was in an early rough cut of the film. "Christmastime In London" is available from the Imperial Mammoth web site. Just look for the little box that says "Free Download".
