Ngaiire - Blastoma - 10TH ANNIVERSARY EXCLUSIVE Gold Vinyl LP
RELEASED JUNE 12, 2026.
A decade on, Blastoma still feels like it’s arriving - breathless, uncontained, refusing to settle into the past tense. When Ngaiire first gave us Blastoma, it wasn’t just a debut, it was a declaration, a body in motion, a voice stretching itself across grief, lineage, and the quiet violences of becoming. You didn’t just listen to it; you stood inside it, felt its pulse in your chest like something borrowed and urgent.
This 10th anniversary vinyl release doesn’t polish the record into nostalgia. Instead, it lets the edges breathe. The warmth of wax deepens the ache in Ngaiire’s vocal, still elastic, still reaching and the production blooms wider, like memory does when you give it time. Songs that once felt like private reckonings now carry the weight of collective inheritance. They sound bigger, yes, but also closer. Like they’ve learned your name.
There’s something sacred about returning to a record that once held you through a particular version of yourself. Blastoma has always been about transformation, the mess of it, the beauty of it, the refusal to look away. Ten years later, it hasn’t calcified. It’s still shifting, still asking questions, still insisting that survival is an art form.
Pressed into vinyl, Blastoma becomes tactile in a new way, a reminder that some stories aren’t meant to be streamed past, but held, turned over, and listened to with intention. Not as an anniversary, but as a continuation.
Limited to 200 copies in gold heavyweight vinyl, with our custom-designed signature obi strip.
Only On Impressed.

"Ngaiire's voice is so rich and powerful, she truly sounds like no one else in Australia. Blastoma is a sonic exploration and emotional outpour all at once. A triumphant sophomore effort, Blastoma is the sound of an artist who knows who she is, and is unafraid of taking that to its limits."

Elsy Wameyo has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in recent years. Against a changing social and cultural landscape, Elsy’s work has elevated and evolved – a chameleonic artist pouring life’s lessons and experiences into dynamic pieces of art.
2022 saw the release of the Kenyan artist's long-awaited debut EP, NILOTIC, a self-produced six-track fusion of hip hop, alt-R&B and soul-infused music. The EP was a moment of arrival: acknowledging Elsy’s heritage – the Nilotic peoples indigenous to the Nile Valley – the powerful collection of music put Elsy on a national radar. It was impassioned music that genre fans had become inspired by, thanks to artists like Kendrick Lamar and Little Simz.
As a result, Elsy has accepted multiple accolades. These include a deserved six wins at the South Australia Music Awards for Best Studio Engineer/Producer, Best Music Video, Best Song, Best Solo Artist & Best Release, and later being crowned triple j Unearthed’s Artist of the Year.
She's then supported Genesis Owusu, Sampha The Great and The Hilltop Hoods.
Now, Elsy Wameyo's debut LP SAINT SINNER is an album of reclamation and self-empowerment.
A powerful collection of music that journeys themes of identity and spirituality, SAINT SINNER documents a potent and poignant chapter of Elsy’s personal and artistic evolution. Through the turmoil and tumult of young adulthood, navigating the modern world as a Black woman has been a process not without its constant struggles – struggles to find a sense of purpose, clear identity and belonging.
Just the way she intended.
SAINT SINNER is released as a double album set - SAINT in heavyweight clear vinyl and SINNER in heavyweight black vinyl. It's numbered to only 200 with an individually-numbered obi strip and is only available on Impressed.
