Stranger Things: Volume 1 (A Netflix Original Series Soundtrack)

STRANGER THINGS volume 1 - Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein - Stranger Things isn't so much a new series on Netflix about a lost boy and the supernatural circumstances surrounding his disappearance, but rather a full-blown cultural phenomenon. A key to the ascension of Stranger Things to critical darling status is the analog synth score of Survive members Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. The duo have repeatedly said in recent interviews that they have no idea how the Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, came to call on them to create the score. It's fitting in a way that a mystery would be the catalyst for Dixon and Stein's involvement, as much of the mood they masterfully create is one of brooding secrecy and the tension of children constantly on the precipice of great peril. Fan reaction to the music has been so strong that Lakeshore Records is now releasing the score as two stand-alone albums. This is volume One.
