Netflix’s “Stranger Things” has captured the imagination of countless audiences. Its wonderful blend of nostalgic mystery and supernatural thrills is absolutely captivating and it’s amazing to see just how wide of a reach it has.
Many who watch the series can’t help but recognize that there are some similarities with this show and David Lynch’s early 90’s murder mystery series “Twin Peaks“. I honestly can’t say that I blame them, although I feel that the former is a distant blood relative to the latter and not something closely aligned.
That being said, I will admit that those who love the music of one will almost certainly love the music of the other, even though there are some interesting stylistic differences. But what if those differences could be put to the side and their efforts combined into something a bit more unified?
Enter Leeni from the “doom-wop” group Prom Queen, who took the theme of “Stranger Things” and Angelo Badalamenti’s “Laura Palmer’s Theme” and mashed them together into one track, which she has dubbed “Stranger Peaks”.
She tells Welcome To Twin Peaks, who premiered the track, “I have always loved synths. So I fell in love with Stranger Things the first time I heard the theme song. And Laura’s Theme is my favorite thing to play on any synthesizer. It’s so beautiful.”
