Like many Netflix subscribers, Shane Graybill fell in love with "Stranger Things."

Graybill, who lives in Manheim and performs music as Sammy Hale and formerly as Cult Choir, was inspired by the hit Netflix series' atmospheric, synthesizer-heavy soundtrack to make music under a new moniker, Night Swim. LancasterOnline has the exclusive premiere of the project's first single and video, "Go Away."

It reminded Graybill of movies he enjoyed as a child, as well as the compositions in David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" and John Carpenter films like "The Thing" and "Halloween."

Graybill says his main focus is still Sammy Hale, the acoustic folk project that combines the nicknames of both his grandfathers. But Night Swim allows him to explore using synths in music, like he did as Cult Choir.

The soundtrack to "Stranger Things" was done by Austin, Texas, group SURVIVE. That, along with the show's science-fiction subject matter, has evoked comparisons to '80s movies like "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."

Graybill hopes his music with Night Swim stirs up a similar feeling in listeners.

“I feel like I'm making music that's inspired by the movies that we all grew up watching," Graybill says. "I'm kind of taking people into that world with my music without even watching anything.”

Graybill shot the video for "Go Away" on his iPad, which he also uses to record music. The video stars Graybill, Emily Siegrist of the band What's Her Face and Olga Palashnyuk.

Graybill has another single completed, which he plans to release soon on the Facebook page for Night Swim. Listeners can check out his main project, Sammy Hale, here.
