- The Hamburg-based trio will issue their maiden full-length offering later this month.
Formation, the debut LP from Wareika, will see a release through Danish imprint Tartelet next month.
Eskimo Recordings, Future Classic, liebe*detail, Motivbank, Connaisseur, Delusions Of Grandeur—the list of labels Hamburg trio Wareika have recorded for since their formation back in 2008 is pretty impressive, to say the least. For their debut album outing, however, Jakob Seidensticker, Florian Schirmacher and Henrik Raabe have chosen to return to the home of their "Ascending/Descending" release last year, Tartelet Records. Although released back in April '09, the EP did in fact serve as a cloaked primer for their album proper, as both tracks from the 12-inch make an appearance on Formation. Elsewhere expect a live version of previous Eskimo single "Men Village," ten minutes of jazz improv on "One Nation," and dancing "in a circle around a campfire" for "Facing The Sun."
Overall, field recordings, human voices and instruments are all said to be key themes of the record, which figures given the group's "ensemble" approach to the recording process.
