Description

The spellbinding, synth-heavy soundtrack to Netflixs 1980s-set smash hit horror Stranger Things is released on double LP through Invada Records.

With its pillowy synth-pads and rich textures, the soundtrack to Volume One seamlessly wanders through the 80s world of Stranger Things, breeding an unthreatening serenity with a gentle shift toward a darker mood. By track 11, listeners are plunged into a nightmare before they even have time to blink; a change pulled off with uncanny grace. The score effectively taps into a unique, strange world of terror and springs it upon the audience with considered precision.

This soundtrack is instantly reminiscent of works by John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing), Tangerine Dream and Vangelis (Blade Runner), whilst also delving into the ambience of Aphex Twin and more modern composers such as Cliff Martinez (Drive, Solaris).

The vinyl for Volume One will be pressed on half red, half blue coloured vinyl and will be housed in a thick 425 gram heavyweight gatefold sleeve. A printed insert will be included which will feature additional artwork and credits.

Stranger Things is rated as one of the highest viewed sci-fi programs on US television.
