Choosing music for movie and TV is an artwork kind. The good ones are deeply memorable, catapulting each track and scene into one other stratosphere of pop-cultural relevance. “Caught In The Center With You” in Reservoir Canine. “I Acquired You Babe” in Groundhog Day. And, after all, the precise, no-word-of-a-lie GOAT: Imogen Heap’s “Disguise and Search” from the season two finale of The OC. If you realize, you realize.
Season 4 of Stranger Issues, everybody’s favorite nostalgia-baiting coming-of-ager, makes an enormous swing for the TV music corridor of fame, and it has paid off handsomely. Kate Bush’s really epic 1985 banger “Working Up That Hill” options quite a few occasions by the seven-episode run. Over the weekend, it very quickly ascended the charts hitting no.1 on iTunes (it is presently additionally bouncing round Spotify’s prime 50 songs within the UK, too).
Within the new season, the Hawkins-bound teenagers – Dustin, Steve, Nancy, Max, Lucas and Robin – are terrorised by a brand new Upside Down-adjacent monster who invades the minds of his victims and sends them right into a form of waking nightmare. With a little bit of Scooby Gang-esque sleuthing, they uncover that the one strategy to save your self from this man – who telekinetically breaks his victims’ bones, which seems like no craic in any respect – is by blasting your favorite track as he is making an attempt to make his transfer (feels much less corny within the present, we swear). So, when Max seems like she’s about to chunk the massive one, it is “Working Up That Hill” – good style, Max – that saves her.
We hear the track a good few occasions, nevertheless it’s the epic ending of episode 4 (gentle spoiler alert), “Pricey Billy”, that may solidify the tune within the minds of Stranger Issues followers endlessly. In the true world, Max is floating above her useless brother Billy’s grave, along with her buddies having simply caught her walkman headphones on her and pressed play. Within the dreamy Upside Down world, she’s sprinting for her life by a hellish panorama with particles falling throughout her, as these pounding drums and warbling synths are available. It is a match made in heaven.
Stranger Issues season 4 is streaming on Netflix now.
