Stranger Things Soundtrack Release Date Set
We can all agree that one of the many great aspects of Stranger Things is the stunning soundtrack—we have Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein of Austin band S U R V I V E for that. The duo announced in late July that a soundtrack will be released “soon.” It was clarified today that “soon” means this Friday, Aug. 12.
The synth-heavy score will come out in two installments. The first will be available digitally this Friday, and on CD on Sept. 16. The second will be released digitally on Aug. 19 and on CD on Sept. 23.
“We discussed having a classic tone and feel to the music for the show but being reserved enough that it wasn’t ’80s cheese, while offering a refreshing quality so that felt modern,” Stein says in a press release. “This was one of the qualities that drew them to our music in the first place. Having a familiarity with classic synths worked, but with an overall forward thinking approach.”
