Less than two weeks ago, Netflix gave us the gift that is the mystery-filled sci-fi series �Stranger Things� � and�a little bit of Austin had something to do with it.

From the �Goonies�-esque ragtag band of kids to Winona Ryder�s performance, the show quickly became a binge-watch favorite. But a major part of the�show�s allure has to do with it being a major �80s throwback. �Stranger Things� is riddled with sounds and tracks from the era, including The Clash�s �Should I Stay or Should I Go,� �Waiting For A Girl Like You� by Foreigner, Modern English�s �I Melt With You� and, of course,�that opening theme.

The score to the �Stranger Things� title sequence � which on its own already resembles the cover of a 1980s mystery novel � has captured people�s attention.�And it turns out the men behind the eerie, synth-laden�track are part of an Austin band named Survive.

Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein formed their duo in Austin in 2008 and got their first Hollywood gig composing the song �Hourglass� for 2014 action-horror film �The Guest.� They currently have a Facebook page and upload their work to Bandcamp.�In 2015, Survive�played at Levitation�and Fun Fun Fun Fest.�The band recently signed a deal for a new�LP with Relapse Records, and the album is set to be released Sept. 30.

The Duffer Brothers, the creators of��Stranger Things,� asked Dixon and Stein to write all the original music in the first season. It�s not clear yet if they�ll return for later episodes or if Netflix will ever get around to releasing the soundtrack.

But here�s to hoping.

Check out what people have to say about the song on Twitter:
