TME is Iglooghost’s most conventional album and it still makes me fucking crazy – like I’m freebasing nicotine and cocaine at the same time, while on one of those rollercoasters that drops at a 90-degree angle. Part of that disorienting feeling, this time around, comes from textures and sounds I didn’t expect: post-punk drums on “Coral Mimic”; the electro beat on “Nemat0de”. I’m sick to death of “genreless” music; Tidal Memory Exo was a genre unto itself.

Idk, I’m just tired of pop music girlies and need to listen to TV static, artful feedback, distorted drones, dissonant layers.
Kim Gordon’s SYR5, Glenn Branca’s The Ascension, Black Dice’s Broken Ear Record. Am I crazy for loving this?

One of my favorite artists since I found him. His music is like bass boosted goth monster truck horror movie vibes. He's usually hissing or whispering on beats. His lyrics can be really cryptic as well. So the combination of those two things make it that you may never know what he's actually saying in his songs. He has so many mixtapes and albums it's so unhinged. He has a music video called Egoist that was edited by the SEMATARY crew so you know the whole video is edited in 200+ definition mode and takes place deep in the woods. He's from Canada and he's pretty active on instagram and sometimes his stories are really concerning (drug addiction, mental health etc.) but I root for him and I love his art so much.

E is one of those albums I find myself revisiting way more than I would have thought. Drain Gang artist Ecco2k blesses us with a beautiful atmospheric journey, with standouts like Peroxide and Calcium, but don't stop there. The whole album flows beautifully and is best experienced wholly. Throw on some noise cancellers and escape into the wild & weird journey that is E.

Joanne Robertson released her debut album, 2008’s The Lighter, 16 years ago; since then, her voice has frayed at one end and calcified at the other, and it’s never sounded as beautiful and electrifying as it does on Backstage Raver. Shades of every great yearner are collected in her raw, emphatic pipes: Hope Sandoval, Sky Ferreira, Neko Case, Cat Power, so many more; maybe you can’t always make out the words, but you always know what she means.

People hate on Discogs so much, kind of for good reason, but it’s my social media of choice. I’ve become obsessive about cataloguing my records, I love to write up entries for stuff that’s not in the database, and I’m obsessed with the comment section drama. The userbase’s dedication to being totally insane is admirable - these people know the names of specific lathe cutters at pressing plants in the Czech Republic.

I heard this record playing in World of Echo, the sick Columbia Road record store whose opening hours are really hard to figure out. This is a jazz record they put out on their in-house label, although that term is a little misleading — “Marble Walls”, my favourite on the EP, which is what made me ask what was playing, is kind of Anna Domino core and there’s breakbeats and stuff too. Tara is from Bristol and her merch is handmade ceramic mugs, which I also find to be incredibly charming.
