Stranger Things (Original Score Soundtracks) — the synth‑driven music for all five seasons of the Netflix series Stranger Things (2016–2025) — was composed by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein of the electronic band Survive. Their work defines the show’s eerie, nostalgic 1980s atmosphere with atmospheric synthesizer themes that underscore mystery, horror, and emotional drama.
Below are the official original score soundtrack albums released for each season:
Stranger Things (Season 1 Score) accompanies Stranger Things Season 1 (2016). It was released in two volumes: Stranger Things, Vol. 1 on August 12, 2016 and Stranger Things, Vol. 2 on August 19, 2016, via Lakeshore / Invada Records. These synthwave score albums contain the original music composed for the first season, totaling dozens of cues that set the show’s nostalgic tone.
Stranger Things 2 (Original Score) accompanies Season 2 (2017). The soundtrack was released October 20, 2017 digitally via Lakeshore / Invada and later on CD, vinyl, and cassette, featuring approximately 34–49 tracks including bonus material.
Stranger Things 3 (Original Score) accompanies Season 3 (2019). Released June 28, 2019 via Lakeshore / Invada, this album collects 41 original score tracks composed for the third season, blending synth textures and thematic layers across its runtime.
Stranger Things 4 (Original Score) accompanies Season 4 (2022). The score album was released July 1, 2022 via Lakeshore / Invada, featuring an expanded selection of music from the season with around 80 tracks performed in an electronic, atmospheric style.
Stranger Things 5 (Original Score) accompanies Season 5 (2025). Released December 31, 2025 via Netflix Music / Lakeshore Records, it contains 95 original score cues with a long runtime, concluding the series’ musical arc while continuing Dixon & Stein’s signature synth‑based approach.
Across these releases, Dixon & Stein’s scores emphasize synthwave‑influenced atmospheres, rhythmic pulses, and thematic motifs that reflect each season’s emotional and narrative developments, from supernatural tension to character‑driven drama.
