Dixon and Stein announced that the entire 34-strong soundtrack will be available on October 20th via Lakeshore Records and Invada. Stranger Things itself returns to Netflix on October 27th.
As Rolling Stone note, the duo suggested in a statement that they hoped to balance tradition and innovation in the music for the new season. “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.”
