Radiohead Reworks by Waldo's Gift
In October 2022 Waldo's Gift revived their now legendary ‘Reworks’ night, which ran monthly at The Gallimaufry in Bristol, each show focusing on an influential producer or artist. The band have performed live remixes from Aphex Twin & Floating Points as well as ABBA and Björk.
Speaking of the decision to rework such a revered band, Waldo’s said “We are definitely not the first to be hugely influenced by Radiohead. The challenge and pleasure for us was reimagining their work for a live guitar trio. We knew the show would be special so it felt necessary to document it in some way. On Everything In It's Right Place we really leant in to Radiohead's love of odd time in our own 'glitchy' way and ‘All I Need’ is perhaps a more faithful reinterpretation but with the rawness of a guitar trio recorded completely live in a packed sweaty bar."
Stayed true to the ethos and building on the success of 2022's 'Improvisations' EPs, the tracks were recorded completely live with no overdubs or edits, showcasing the true raw creative power of the band in real time. A uniquely telepathic communication refined over years of weekly improvised shows at The Gallimaufry. Improvised cover art created in the same moment by Holysseus Fly.
