Stranger Things Season 3: Listen to Two Tracks from the Original Score

Fans won’t get to see Hawkins, Indiana again until Stranger Things Season 3 premieres on Netflix on July 4. That doesn’t mean they won’t be able to hear Hawkins, Indiana before then.

Stranger Things 3 – Original Score from the Netflix Original Series will be available for digital download on Friday, June 28 with CD and vinyl releases forthcoming from Lakeshore Records and Invada Records. The album will feature the original works that trusty Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein created for Stranger Things Season 3.

Dixon and Stein have been with Neflix’s sci-fi juggernaut since the beginning. The two Austin-based musicians are behind those moody and meme-able opening credit notes, not to mention the rest of Stranger Things’ ’80s synth-heavy sound.

Now you can listen to two of the upcoming 41 tracks on that album. Here is “It’s Just Ice.” Ominous and urgent, it seems like a classic mid-season tune.

Next up is “Mirkwood.” This dials up the ’80s sci-fi horror up to 11.

“With the Season 3 soundtrack, we’ve made an album that doesn’t feel like a ‘score’ necessarily, but one that feels more like a stand-alone record than a collection of brief cues,” Dixon and Stein said in a joint statement. “We’ve incorporated the main narrative elements of the series and stayed true to the original sound while at the same time expanding on our musical palette—we often pushed it to the limit. We’ve really made an effort to curate this album to showcase the moments we think are really special.”

Much of Stranger Things Season 3 will take place in Hawkins’ brand new Starcourt mall. This score isn’t necessarily mall music but it would certainly be cool if Starcourt played nothing but this.
