Alt-country, folk-a-billy blues tunes and cowboy boots. Delilah Rose, a guitar and a host of Wild West Gunslingers. Westralia.


A clattering, chaotic runaway wagon train of energetic country punk.

Dark, swampy, primal bluesbeat and shuddering, ancient jazz collide with Spenglerian imagery of cyclical decay, eros, thanatos, mass media andas yet unknown technologies. Acid County traverse surreal landscapes reminiscent of Lynch, J.G.Ballard and H.P. Lovecraft via the wrecking yards of 20th century post modernism powered by electric rock.
