Fans of Stranger Things take note - The Midnight have made the best soundtrack for the retro Netflix smash that isn't actually a soundtrack to the retro Netflix smash. More than living up to its name from the off, if there's a better pastiche of 1980s synthdom and keyboard-oriented rock then we really want someone to show it us. Arpeggios and riffs for days, as a few might say, perhaps the best thing about this is it actually doesn't feel like an homage to an era that so many people try to recreate.

Instead, it packs authenticity to the point where this could have been released 40 years ago, rather than 12 months back. Perhaps it's the rather wonderful cover of 'Because the Night', featuring Nikki Flores. Maybe, it's opening track 'The Stranger', which could be taken straight from a John Carpenter score. In reality, it could be any one of 12 reasons, at least, so let's not split hairs and just enjoy it.
