 Brainfeeder repress some more classic (and long sold-out) Iglooghost material from 2019 on grey marbled vinyl. ‘Steel Mogu’ and ‘Clear Tamei’ were Iglooghost’s back-to-back EP follow-ups to his acclaimed full-length debut, ‘Neō Wax Bloom’ (2017). As ever, the releases are bundled with multimedia storyline material that feed into Iglooghost’s ever-expanding narrative - giving longtime fans their first glimpse into the primordial era of the Mamu dimension.
 Although paired in format, the dual EPs draw from different corners of Igloo’s influences. ‘Steel Mogu’ is a hyperspeed collage of synthetic, trance-influenced synths contortingaround violent, mutating 808s, whilst ‘Clear Tamei’ channels lavish string quartets and melancholic, fictional classical instruments.
 The double features are set in Mamu, 3000 years prior to the events of ‘Neō Wax Bloom’. We are introduced to a young, see-through god in-training named Tamei. Although gifted, he and his little cohorts resent their fate of becoming Grid Göds - and find themselves wound up in a hyperspeed, cross-temporal battle with a fleet of
mysterious, round beings.
 Recommended if you like Aphex Twin, A. G. Cook, SOPHIE, Kai Whiston.
 12” grey marbled vinyl housed in a 3mm spined top-opening outer sleeve. Includes comic strip documenting an ancient 3000 year old myth from Mamu. Artwork by
Iglooghost.
 “Weird, abrasive… unpredictable and audacious… a sensory overload.” - Pitchfork
