Brainfeeder mark the fifth anniversary of Iglooghost’s 2017 groundbreaking debut album “Neō Wax Bloom” with a limited edition splatter vinyl reissue of this long sold-out classic.
Lauded for its joyous hyperactivity, otherworldly quality and the inherent originality therein, Pitchfork proclaimed “Iglooghost’s thumping braindance is on its own planet entirely”. The album was the precursor to sonic adventures with Kai Whiston and BABii and a deep dive into the history of Lei Music.
“Neō Wax Bloom” follows the events surrounding two giant eyeballs crashing into the mysterious world of Mamu. Across its 11 tracks, Iglooghost builds a typically intense, hysterical, borderline batshit crazy soundtrack, introducing new characters to his fantastical world and inviting back old friends Mr. Yote and Cuushe for the ride.
In the words of Iglooghost: “When a pair of giant eyeballs crash into the strange, misty world of Mamu, the mysterious forces that govern nature itself are disrupted. A life cycle of transforming creatures is thrown off balance, and the odd looking inhabitants of Mamu are forced to adapt to this calamity. These inhabitants include Yomi - a multicoloured pom-pom monk; Lummo - a wise blind witch training a band of melon coloured babies; and Uso - a sneaky bug thief hidden in a green cloak - as well as many others. As their respective stories begin to interlock, the mysteries surrounding the giant eyeballs are slowly revealed.”
