Stranger Things

So lately I have been drowning in Stranger Things 2 commercials. AS I had never watched the original Netflix show, I decided I would watch it with my boyfriend. The first thing I noticed was the music. I couldn't help but bob my head the theme music. I found that I love the synth music created for the entire series. It really captured the mystery throughout the series. Kyle Dixon, the composer, created about thirty-six different songs for the series.
The show is set in the early 80's, in a small town in Indiana. It involves a research lab and its experiments getting loose. In the meantime, kids are starting to disappear. The music put in with this show really shows the intensity of each scene and sucks the view's attention in.
My personal favorite song is Eleven's lullaby. here is a link. My next favorite is Kids. I honestly love the synth style it has. It just makes the music seem set in the 80s again, yet futuristic at the same time. its out of this world, just like the show.
