Tidal Memory Exo is the third album from Bristol-based musician Iglooghost, whose untethered music and forensically detailed worldbuilding has gained him an avid following. Made while squatting in an old MOT garage on the Kent Coast, Tidal Memory Exo sees Iglooghost take the fore as a vocalist for the first time. The album takes place in a coastal town cut off from the mainland and plagued by a never ending storm, where the locals have created their own music scene with genres such as ‘sporestyle’ and ‘tektonikore’. Like previous records, there is a seemingly endless amount of lore to delve into on Tidal Memory Exo.
“Tidal Memory Exo is an album I made while living in a rust-ridden flooded squat in a weird UK seaside town. The area has been in an endless storm, causing strange otherworldly primordial garbage to be washed to shore. It’s basically only populated by rogue junk-hoarding scrap weirdos right now. I’ve been trying to get involved in the music scene that’s bubbling up locally. There’s lots of weird new mutated genres and illegal radio stations popping up - completely isolated from the rest of the country because of this massive storm. They don’t really like me, but I sort of wormed my way in and finally got this album together. Tunes about oceanic scum, illegal teletext transmissions, & the prehistoric trilobite angels lurking in the sewers.”
