Stranger Things Season 2 soundtrack to be released on vinyl and cassette

Return to the upside down.

Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein’s soundtrack to the second season of sci-fi nostalgia-fest Stranger Things has been announced, ahead of the show’s return on 27th October.

It will be released digitally by Invada and Lakeshore on 20th October, with CD, vinyl and cassette editions to follow.

An “upside down interdimensional-blue” variant will be available 22nd December in the USA via Lakeshore.

Invada will release 3 additional variants for the rest of the world on 12th January: “crystal clear” vinyl (with blue and white splatter), a mail-order exclusive “purple crystal” vinyl (with white splatter), and standard black.

Speaking of the soundtrack, Dixon and Stein of power synth band S U R V I V E said: “In Season 2 we’re introducing new styles of composition, while still revisiting old themes when appropriate… We’ve created new elements that are necessary to support the story, but still want to remain true to the sound of Season 1.”
