Originally Appeared In

Music has always been a HUGE part of Stranger Things, since season 1. Setting the show in the 1980's was a stroke of genius by The Duffer Brothers. The ability to set the scene and year by real-world events and song releases means that it puts the viewer directly into that era and keeps it as real-to-life as sci-fi-horror gets. As the 80s has drawn on in years throughout, they have been most recently been able to draw on the thrash metal phase & satanic panic... let's dive into that new trailer.

More Kate Bush More Kate Bush

We are hereby dubbing our boy Eddie Munson 'SHREDDIE' Munson. The new trailer for Part 2 of Season 4 has dropped this morning and features a stylised and orchestral version of Kate Bush's Runnin' Up That Hill (A Deal With God) in it, that morphs into a little more dark-wave version that works in the arpeggio-ed Stranger Things theme song.

In the trailer, we get to see Eddie take a guitar down from the wall and proceed to ABSOLUTELY WAIL on it, midway through the trailer. 

The show has shown time and time again that music plays a LARGE part in the meaning of the show, so without further ado, let's look at the rad moments and tracks highlighted in the show.

Watch the trailer below.
