Iglooghost

Iglooghost, the musical alias of Bristol-based artist Seamus Malliagh. Known for his intricate, genre-defying productions and immersive visual storytelling, Iglooghost’s work merges hyper-detailed soundscapes with surreal, magical-realist narratives. His music often serves as an entry point to larger fictional ecosystems filled with cryptic lore, strange entities, and imagined subcultures. universe. His third studio album, Tidal Memory Exo, released in April 2024 on LUCKYME®, reflects this holistic vision. Written and produced while living in a storm-ravaged UK seaside town, the album takes inspiration from both the bleakness of the environment and the fictional narratives Malliagh layered over it. Drawing on his time squatting in a flooded MOT garage on the Kent coast, he imagines a world where prehistoric debris washes ashore, spawning rumors of trilobite civilizations and an underground “tidal scene” of rogue musicians creating mutated genres such as Foamtek, SporeStyle, Germ_Musik etc. “The album is about oceanic scum, illegal teletext transmissions, and prehistoric trilobite angels lurking in the sewers,” Malliagh explains. “It’s inspired by the big ugly brown waves smashing into the concrete seafront and the strange local culture bubbling up in that storm-isolated town.”
