Weird Westerns

Available for over a year

Matthew Sweet takes his cue from the UK release of Juliano Dornelles's and Kleber Mendonca Filho's award winning film 'Bacurau', with music by Mateus Alves and Tomaz Alves Souza, for an examination of the strange world of the 'Weird Western' and the music written for it. Weird Westerns combine the traditional cowboy film with elements of fantasy, science fiction or horror, and amongst his selection Matthew includes music for 'The Valley of Gwanji', 'Cowboys and Aliens', ''Westworld', 'Wild Wild West', 'High Plains Drifter', 'Rango', 'El Topo', 'Ravenous', 'Bone Tomahawk', and 'Bacarau'.
