CMAT, Euro-Country & the Ghosts of the Celtic Tiger
Description
CMAT’s new single Euro-Country is a cultural reckoning. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, Stephen White breaks down how CMAT takes aim at the ghosts of the Celtic Tiger, the fallout of the 2008 crash, and the legacy of Bertie Ahern.
From the fluorescent ruins of Santry’s OMNI Shopping Centre to Ireland’s Celtic Tiger past, this video explores why Euro-Country has struck such a deep chord across generations in Ireland.With themes of intergenerational anger, grief, memory, and economic betrayal, CMAT’s bold songwriting is already being described as one of the most powerful political statements in modern Irish pop.
