Iglooghost, the musical alias of Bristol-based artist Seamus Malliagh, has become a key figure in experimental electronic music. 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.

Growing up in the rural isolation of Dorset, Malliagh developed a vivid imagination that continues to fuel his creative output. From crafting elaborate worlds as a child to constructing fully realized multimedia projects as an adult, he has always approached music as part of a larger artistic 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.
