Neō Wax Bloom is the debut studio album by English electronic musician Seamus Malliagh under his recording alias Iglooghost, released on 29 September 2017 on Brainfeeder.

Characterised by complex and energetic song structures, Neō Wax Bloom is a maximalist album which "dismantle[s] any notion of genre before putting the pieces back together in [its] own unique way".

[4] Malliagh described the production of Neō Wax Bloom as being akin to the precision of military training, saying that he was having to "discipline the fuck outta myself and override that natural human instinct to cut corners [...] and I sorta broke my brain in the process".

The file size of the project additionally led to the track being impossible to play through Reason without audio glitches, requiring him to repeatedly save after making minuscule edits.

Further contributing to his frustration was the track's particularly fast tempo, which meant "the same amount of effort I'd normally put into writing a bar counted for significantly fewer seconds", although this quirk also applied to the production of other sections of the album.

[3] Malliagh explained in 2017 that Neō Wax Bloom deals with "primal religious themes" and a "millennial nihilist thing" that had prevented him from having personally consistent spiritual beliefs.

[4] Neō Wax Bloom is similar to other records released on Brainfeeder in that it "dismantle[s] any notion of genre before putting the pieces back together in [its] own unique way", stated Paul Carr of PopMatters.

[3] The album variously explores and eclectically combines genres including trap,[11][12] J-pop,[13] dancehall,[13] dubstep,[12] wonky,[1] hip hop,[14] future garage,[1] grime,[15][12] and the PC Music-defined style of bubblegum bass.

[1] A vocal sample of Charlotte Day Wilson's performance on a song by Iglooghost released in 2016 titled "Gold Tea" recurs throughout the album,[10][1] processed and harmonized in different ways in each track.

[12][2][22] A Nest HQ reviewer was one of them, claiming, "Iglooghost executes with a technical precision that which would make any music theory nerd foam at the mouth, while still remaining accessible to less pretentious ears moving across a club floor".

[12] Loud and Quiet's Stephen Butchard jokingly honored it as "an epic ode to short-attention spans that will make you glad it fried your brain with information and desensitised you to bright lights".
