The original soundtrack album for the third season of the Netflix series Stranger Things, titled Stranger Things 3, was released digitally on June 28, 2019, via Lakeshore and Invada Records. Like the previous two seasons, the soundtrack was composed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein of the electronic band Survive. The album was also released on physical formats such as CD, vinyl, and cassette.
In a press release that accompanied the announcement of the score's release, Dixon and Stein disclosed that they made an album "that doesnâÂÂt feel like a âÂÂscoreâ necessarily, but one that feels more like a stand-alone record than a collection of brief cues. WeâÂÂve incorporated the main narrative elements of the series and stayed true to the original sound while at the same time expanding on our musical palette â we often pushed it to the limit." They also stated that they "made an effort to curate this album to showcase the moments we think are really special."
