When a geomagnetic storm scrambled the temporal drift of a small seaside town on the south-east coast of England, strange prehistoric creatures began washing up to shore, catching the attention of a group of hooded, scrap-collecting weirdos from the local music ‘tidal’ scene.
Iglooghost, the musical alias of Bristol-based multidisciplinary artist Seamus Malliagh, created his third album Tidal Memory Exo while squatting in an MOT garage in Kent, drawing inspiration from the bleak surroundings to imagine an alternative world where ecological disaster has birthed a post-human wasteland.
