Stranger Things 5 (Original Score From The Netflix Series) – Volume One features the first half of the original score by Emmy-winning composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein for the fifth and final season of Netflix’s global phenomenon. Released by Invada Records and Lakeshore Records, this deluxe 2LP edition presents the opening 47 tracks from the season’s expansive score, continuing the duo’s signature blend of vintage synthesizers, cinematic ambience, and pulse-pounding suspense.
As the final chapter of Stranger Things unfolds, the music once again plays a central role in building the series’ emotional weight and supernatural tension. Dixon and Stein expand the sonic palette established throughout the previous four seasons, combining analogue synth textures with darker atmospheres and evolving character themes that accompany the battle against the Upside Down. Volume One captures the opening half of the season, setting the stage for the series’ epic conclusion.
The soundtrack features 47 original score cues, including "Holly the Heroic," "Like I Could Fly," "Running to Lucas," "Will the Wizard," "Humvees," "Like a Sorcerer," and many more. The music seamlessly shifts between nostalgic 1980s-inspired electronics, haunting ambient passages, and intense rhythmic sequences, reflecting both the emotional journeys of the characters and the escalating supernatural danger.
Pressed on metallic bronze coloured vinyl, this deluxe 2LP edition is housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves featuring full-colour photography from the series. Together with Volume Two, it completes the nearly three-hour original score for the final season, making it an essential release for Stranger Things fans, soundtrack collectors, and lovers of atmospheric electronic film and television music.
