And So I Watch You From Afar were born from freezing cold winters on the northern most tip of Ireland. They play raw, charging, experimental music that is hard to define. Sometimes angular and noisy, sometimes pulsing, euphoric, overwhelming.
The joy, the power, the escapism found in their live shows is fabled. In 2006 they jumped in the van and didn’t stop. Across Europe, USA, Russia, Asia, Central America, Australia, touring relentlessly, they’ve slowly built a cult following around the world. Their albums are uncompromising and exploratory. The true spirit of independence, the definition of DIY, of realness and resolve.
Having forged themselves as a name to remember, and 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 22nd January 2025 via fellow Bristolian 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, their weekly residency at Bristol venue The Gallimaufry where they built a cult following with their intense & bizarre performances.
