Waldo’s Gift
Release: 1st November 2022
Waldo's Gift first met at a smokey jam session, in a central Bristol industrial estate and since then have been combining elements of groove, jazz, math and classical music to formulate their unique sound. Showcasing their own hybrid of groove, math and jazz plus hosting a weekly night at Bristol's The Gallimaufry, where they invite some of the city's finest to collaborate with them; Waldos Gift has emerged as a new force, combining blinding technique with real creative musical insight and authenticity. Featuring James Vine on drums, Harry Stoneham on bass and Alun Elliot-Williams on guitar.
'Waldo's Gift takes inspiration from electronic music heavyweights such as Aphex Twin and Teebs as well as their collective love-affair with early-noughties metal, the trio take listeners into completely uncharted sonic territory'
