Free Music Fridays: ‘Stranger Things: Halloween Sounds From The Upside Down’ By Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein

Ranked by Brooklyn Vegan as the No. 1 album of 2018 and a coveted Record Store Day Black Friday get, Lakeshore Records has decided to give 100 lucky followers a free digital download (sorry – we don’t have the records!) of the Stranger Things: Halloween Sounds From the Upside Down tracks!  These spooky and tasty synth treats were originally Bonus Tracks which came with the Stranger Things 2 Deluxe Edition soundtrack that took on a life of its own!  And it would be silly for us to offer these on Friday this week when we could give it to you ahead of time so you can enjoy it all Halloween weekend long!  Details below.

Dixon and Stein have provided a half-hour of haunting and cerebral tunes that will be sure to induce the spooks within anyone that happens to come by. – Zac Gelfand, Uproxx
