An electrifying new force in the new wave of UK Experimental music, Bristol trio Waldo’s Gift announce their debut album Malcolm's Law for release 24th Jan 2025 via their champions Ishmael Ensemble’s label Severn Songs. Following a string of early releases lauded by tastemakers across BBC 6Music and BBC Radio 1, Malcolm's Law captures the story of their unusual beginnings: the intense, bizarre weekly residency at Bristol’s Gallimaufry where they built a cult following.

Led by the brash, technicolour lead single ‘Candifloss’, Malcolm's Law is a sizzling, maximalist, impossibly complex guitar record. While Waldo’s 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. Unbelievably, every track is a single live performance, recorded with no overdubs or extras.
