La Frecuencia Kirlian: Hace frío, hay fantasmas

May 30, 2017 9:49 PM

"A city that never existed. A radio transmitting only at night. An unexpected visitor. It's time." La Frecuencia Kirlian ("The Kirlian Frequency," English title: Ghost Radio) is a new Argentinian animated web series broadcasting midnight radio—with English subtitles—from the mysterious, monstrous, missing city of Kirlian. See the series trailer and watch the first episode, El País de Abril / "The Country of April." (via io9)

We are all agreed that this is a sister station to Night Vale Community Radio, yes?

This looks like fun (and gives me nostalgia for Argentina); thanks!

Oh, this is grand. Aliens or tourism?

From IMDB: badass series poster. "ALL NIGHT...EVERY NIGHT"
From Bandcamp: music from the first episode!
From Instagram: more art from the series

If Google Translate is accurate for this article, the next few episodes slated for release are: Los Amos de la Noche in July, El Bosque Enterrado ("The Buried Forest") in October, and El Rey de la Navidad ("The King of Christmas") in December. Google Translate choked on "Los Amos de la Noche," though apparently that's the title of The Warriors in Spain, which is interesting. "The Masters of the Night," maybe?

I don't know any Spanish, so maybe this series will inspire me to learn more!
