Instant Wigwam and Igloo Mixture is the debut album by the band Go-Kart Mozart. It was released in 1999 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 a 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."
