User Album Review
Opening track “Freak Show” establishes the mood, its lyrics the defensive posturing of teens who rally around creepy as a gang sign rather than a way of life. It’s a gorgeous song, all atmospheric synths and staccato drum machine, in homage to Stranger Things show runners the Duffer Brothers’ idealised version of a 1980s they never really lived through. Similarly gorgeous is “Christmas Lights” - a reference, as fans of the show will know, to the device which Winona Ryder’s character in the series used to communicate with her abducted son in another dimension. Not a fan? That’s cool: the sweetly lyrical track, which began life as a poem and inadvertently kicked off the whole project, could easily double as a song about missing a loved one at the most nostalgic time of the year if you don’t take the references to “talking” literally.
That’s the genius of Stranger Songs - a project that, in less skilled hands, could have been a one-note joke but which, a week before the show’s third season begins, instead taps into that same vein of joy and nostalgia which made it such an unexpected hit.
