The Iglooghost octopus still has more limbs to grow; more tricks up more sleeves; send more dope album art please.
Tidal Memory Exo is that high-octane romp that plays well on a speaker, the sound and the fury, but less so in every other conceivable music-enjoying circumstance. Yet another lesson to be learned: music is about positioning the right moment, and putting oneself in the proper current.
Iglooghost is an artist I’ve been meaning to revisit sometime soon, as I remember albums like “Neō Wax Bloom” and “Steel Mogu” being huge parts of my childhood wonder, especially for getting me into electronic side of music (should revisit those at some point).
This new album of theirs is absolutely insane too, some honestly wild and cool as all hell soundscapes across this entire thing. Really love the cold and calculated feel of this album, really feels like ... read more
Poor Iglooghost… His little Ice house is melting…
🔥 Because this album is STRAIGHT FIRE 🔥
Seamus Rawles Malliagh, also known as Iglooghost, is an artist I’ve had my eyes on since I laid them upon those little Gnome-like figures on his album covers. I’ve gone down the Wonky wormhole with Mr. Ghost and traveled his progression from funky little HyperPop beats to this grimey project, riddled with barnacles and soaked in algae. This album is a blast to the darker ... read more

Industrialization ended long ago. All that remains are rusting towers, broken antennas, fragments of the old world, all partially submerged beneath filthy water.
According to Seamus himself, the record was written while he was living in a flooded squat in a coastal town ... read more
[65 -> 85]
The idea of this album resembling the decayed scrap found by Igloo in a nearby shore of a flooded area in England fascinates me, not that there's scrap and flood somewhere in England, that's so expected, but because the Deconstructed Club/Electro-Industrial instrumental artifacts portray that very well here not just thematically, but the production is just as moving as how the ocean waves try to get rid of the junk, but it becomes this insane mess of various chopped up ... read more
Every aspect, including but not limited to the album cover and the music that lies behind it, is phenomenal.
