My boy Iglooghost spending all the budget in hiring real life alien creatures.

[limeflashlight]

imagine being one of those kids in the choir working with iglooghost! that would be so cool!

[MultiUchihaitachi]

Think I saw something a while ago on Babii’s fb about this Margate children’s choir thing, really great that you’re doing something for your local community!

[bahska]

This is a really cool change of pace, I can tell he's trying something new, instead of making a very big energetic rise-drop song like his last projects he's going a slower route leaving the focus more on the vocals and other elements of the song, I wouldn't even call it a full on dance song I don't think, its almost like an electronic, gospel, folk song. i really like it.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Amu, Amus are beige with some blue on the top of their head
They try to talk to invisible gods,  and they float
Levitate quietly, gathering hoops,  and they make
Statues to pray to for vegetables far away

[Refrain]
Amu-mu-mu-mu
Amu-mu-mu-mu

[Verse 2]
made of magnets
They drift and drop
Beaming up messages, trying to ask for fruit, from gods

[Chorus]
Yemmo are fast and they steal
Hoops from the Amus
And then they zip away
And shoot lime colour vapour
They have big shifting pupils
And poles on their heads
Grey colour bodies that whir and then dash and then dip

[Refrain]
Amu-mu-mu-mu
Yemmo-mo-mo-mo

[Verse 3]
Beaming prayers from coral structures
Shrines transmit
Placing discs on plastic altars
Voids can link

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Yemmo are fast and they steal
Hoops from the Amus
And then they zip away
And shoot lime colour vapour
They have big shifting pupils
And poles on their heads
Grey colour bodies that whir and then dash and then dip

[kringeren]

I feel like this is the most intimate look into this world to date. You can see the enviroment warped by the connection to the world of Mamu and its lore.
The writing is almost on all possible surfaces, presence of different beings can be felt in the atmosfere and the customs of the place these scenes that we can see.
Coexisting with them is engrained in the fact that there are rituals for dealing with them, with the fact that the actions is supposed to appease the tribe of flying Yenmo. This work delves depper into different groups that are shaping this world, we learn their name and are introduced to a character that seems to be hostile, or at least ill minded towards Seamus/humans.
We come to a realization that the portal to Mamu isnt only in his garden, but many pathways can be found around the world. The interaction between Igloo and the Yenmu seems to be something unusuall.
I think that this song and video is one of the most important pieces of the Iglooghost lore.
Edit:the world is called Mamu, not Gloo+ formatting

finally some new tunes from my favourite alien boi

[genevieverocho]

I dream with a world where an Iglooghost can get as much recognition as a Marshmellow <3

[milanovic]

Who else want Igloo to compose a game soundtrack?

[kindin_einar]

The story and overall vibe in this video feels like something from a Ghibli movie

[soaribb]

I picture you doing some fire beats for SZA

[kalebdye]

You really killed it. This one gave me some mega chills all over my body. I can't wait till you get the recognition you deserve. Great job brotha.

[iloree]

the amu hat reminds me of shroomish from pokémon

[kizuatoprefecture]

He is one of my most important influence. Can't wait to listen to this new tune!

[feliksaksyonov]

This colours are amazing! Go, man! You're doing right!
I see it like a story about a kid who is afraid of growing up and loosing his close childish friends

[spacetaco]

I have no idea what these alien things you use mean but they look really cool.
You're like the most unique yet still good sounding artist I know. You push the boundaries of weird music and still manage to make it sound good at the same time. While all these other people try doing what you do but it either still sounds plain or sounds too weird to be good.
I am a permanent fan :D

[Chickenboy-pglz]

This music is like the lovechild of björk, SOPHIE and son lux.

[WhiteLionExperimentalMusic]

There is only a fraction of a fraction of music where singing fits to my ears in the context of music itself. This is one of them. Harmony is great, the experimental sound design is great, crossgenre is great. Love it.

[ianprado]

I bet Iglooghost will make his best album this decade and I am super excited for it
