Simply put, “Stranger Things” wouldn’t be “Stranger Things” without the music, and we’re not just talking about the rockin’ 80s tracks featured throughout. One of the most important aspects of the Netflix series is the score, which has been composed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein since the beginning. The duo is back for Season 3, and their score is now available!
Ahead of Season 3’s hotly-anticipated arrival on July 4th, you can now stream the complete Season 3 score digitally through iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Spotify.
Track titles like “The First I Love You,” “Destroying the Castle” and “She’s Gone Home” may give you some clues about the upcoming season, and the music itself paints a picture of a melancholic season wherein the kids, well, they’re starting to realize that they’re not exactly kids anymore. In fact, there’s a track titled “Not Kids Anymore” that just might make you cry.
On the more upbeat side, the fun track “Starcourt” is essentially the ultimate ’80s mall anthem, while eerie tracks like “Rats” take you into the Upside Down with spooky sounds.
I continue to be blown away by how beautiful Dixon and Stein’s music is, both retro and fresh at the same time, and I cannot wait to hear these tracks in the context of the show.
Start streaming while you wait for Season 3 to arrive on July 4th!
