Western Freqs

A fever-dream of Country ‘n Irish music that descends into a dub-tank collage-history of the music, the people, the dreams and nightmares. Sampled, deconstructed and processed, each episode confronts the strange memories of this misunderstood music. Below the kitsch surface lies a deep, generative weirdness, which this series will attempt to extrapolate and re-integrate. Exploring the outer reaches of Country n’ Irish, this show will try to uncover something about the dark heart of Irish nationhood through a deep analysis of an endlessly strange and culturally promiscuous genre. Each episode will find echoes in unexpected places, times and musics; its tendrils reaching out across history and geography. As such, it will be more of a delirious, erratic talking cure than methodical history.
