about

Bristol trio Waldo’s Gift return, armed with face-melting riffs and shock wave electronics for their new EP ‘Normflex’ via Black Acre Records.

Soaring, deafening and fond of a destructive stomp, Waldo’s Gift have built a reputation as a gut-rattling live act in their hometown of Bristol, and specifically at their legendary residency at The Gallimaufry. On their latest release, the band show that none of their energy has been lessened despite their live show being put on hold until recently.

Waldo’s Gift is the result of three like-minded musicians that have been given the time and space to let their sound naturally take shape, allowing them to hone in on a true sonic representation of themselves both as individual players and together as a three-piece. Their sound is a coherent cacophony of a vast variety of influences, hurtling from the harmonic and rhythmic sophistication of jazz through to the most cutting edge experimental electronic music - all with the unhinged energy of the most powerful left-leaning rock and metal and packed with the emotion and dynamic range of a full orchestra.

Throughout this last chaotic and tumultuous year Waldo’s Gift have been diligently working on a follow EP entitled ‘Normflex’ that sees the band distill their sound into something dark, heavy, unrelenting and beautiful all at the same time. Taking inspiration from electronic music heavyweights such as Aphex Twin and Teebs as well as digging deep into their collective love-affair with early-noughties metal, the EP takes the trio and listeners alike into completely uncharted sonic territory.
