Instant Wigwam and Igloo Mixture is the debut album by the band Go-Kart Mozart. It was released in 2000 on West Midlands Records, a subsidiary of Cherry Red. It was former Felt and Denim frontman Lawrence's first album under the alias Go Kart Mozart. Its cover features a shot of Birmingham's Bull Ring Centre as built in 1964, shortly before it was redeveloped.

The track "Today" is an instrumental cover of the song "Windy", renamed in homage to the Today show hosted by Bill Grundy, which had used it as its theme tune.

Elefant Records released a version in Spain with an exclusive song, "Elephant Trunk," between "Today" and "Wear Your Foghat with Pride."[1]
