Iglooghost continues to be one of the greatest outliers in electronic music. There still is nothing out there that sounds as clean as an Iglooghost record yet sounds so clustered without feeling overworked. On the sophomore record from the UK-based producer stays in his UK bass and wonky stylistic underpinnings, however, completely changes directions. On Ne? Wax Bloom (his debut record) he created a clustered, chaotic, and explosive electronic record that in many ways redefined what EK bass, wonky, future bass, glitch, and footwork. If you have never listened to it, I can tell you it on first listen will completely redefine instrumental music. On this new record, he completely changes direction and looks to modern classical music. Laced throughout all the tracks is a dense arrangement of violin and synthesizer orchestra. For the very clustered nature of Ne? Wax Bloom, Lei Line Eon is much brighter, flashier, and elaborate. From front to back, you will continue to hear those classic wonky, glitch, and UK bass styles, but it comes in at these very explosive times through the arrangements. There is so much to this record, but it is so peaceful to listen to. To conclude there truly is nothing out there like this (trust me there are several other artists in this more classical electronic combo field), but there is something so powerful about listening to this. The feeling of love and fear come off so well throughout this record. Please take a listen, and my only negative is the fact that I wish there was more exploration on each of the tracks with these textures because honestly there needs to be more.
