Description
An electrifying new force in the new wave of UK Experimental music, Bristol trio Waldos Gift release their debut album Malcolm’s Law via their champions Ishmael Ensembles label Severn Songs. Malcolm’s Law is a sizzling, maximalist, impossibly complex guitar record. While Waldos Gift have been associated with the UK jazz explosion, mainly owing to their focus on improvisation, there are shades here of prog-metal, math-rock, and the more intense ends of Squarepusher or Aphex Twin. We Trojan-horse metal into jazz venues, Vine laughs. Unbelievably, every track is a single live performance, recorded with no overdubs or extras. Weve tried to multi-track stuff, but it doesnt sound like us, he says. To sound like us is to be a sweaty, chaotic mess, on the precipice of falling apart. Were all on the limit of what we can physically play, and thats where the fun comes from.
