Something is lurking in the shadows of Hawkins, Ind. …

… It's season two of the smash hit Netflix show, "Stranger Things."

Just last year, the '80s cult-classic-style series took hold of the streaming world, assuming the top position of water cooler topics everywhere. The combination of likeable young characters, twisted plots and eerie music made the sophomore season of "Stranger Things" one of the most anticipated entertainment events last fall.

This week, the show announced the air date for season two, Oct. 27. This season premiere lands appropriately close to Halloween, considering the teaser video (debuted as a Super Bowl commercial in February) promises viewers a scary return trip to 1984.

One undeniable component of the nostalgic headspace the show induces is the music. Austin, Texas, synth duo Survive, comprised of Kyle Dixon and Michel Stein, created a dreamy throwback score that gives "Stranger Things" its signature spooky hook. The group was nominated twice in the same category for Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media for volumes one and two of the first season's soundtracks at the 59th GRAMMY Awards, proving the crucial role music can play in shaping even some of pop culture's biggest phenomena.

For those "Stranger" fans in the Los Angeles area, Survive will make a special appearance at the GRAMMY Museum at L.A. Live on July 19 for The Music Behind "Stranger Things" — a discussion of the creative process behind the show's unmistakable, unforgettable soundtrack.
