About Weite
Weite is a new band featuring Nicholas DiSalvo (Elder, delving) and Michael Risberg (Elder) alongside colleagues Ingwer Boysen , Ben Lubin and Fabien de Menou (Perilymph). 'Assemblage' is their first record, an effortlessly eclectic album of lightly psychedelic instrumental music. Winter 2022: Hamburg/Berlin,Germany. Out-of-work musicians litter the streets, tumbling about like so many discarded face masks and empty beer bottles. Amongst this backdrop of boredom and monotony, guitarist/bassist Ingwer Boysen conceived the idea of wrangling some likeminded friends and writing and recording a record within a short period of time. Being a live member of Nick DiSalvo’s new band delving together with guitarist Michael Risberg, the two were obvious choices as a certain musical chemistry between the three was already evident. The group recruited Berlin-based English guitarist Lubin to round out the quartet and proceeded to bunker in for a week of intense songwriting in the basement of an old brewery. Sharing their diverse musical interests and swapping instruments frequently, a body of songs was quickly created that channeled a collective love for 60’s and 70’s psychedelic music, krautrock, jazz and listening to one motorik beat for 20 minutes straight. The troupe set off to record in a short session at Big Snuff Studio with frequent collaborator Richard Behrens and within a few days Assemblage was born. Initially intended as a one-off recording session, the four recognized an obvious musical chemistry and common ground and decided to turn the project into a proper band. Keyboardist Fabien de Menou (Perilymph) joined in 2024. They released their sophomore album 'Oase' on November 22, 2024. Clocking in at almost an hour, 'Oase'—German for "Oasis"— takes listeners on an intricate and textured journey that draws inspiration from the pioneering spirit of 70s Psychedelic Rock, blending influences from “Canterbury scene” Prog, Krautrock, early Electronica, Post-Rock, and Americana. This record is characterized by long, expansive, atmospheric compositions yet is undoubtedly more structured and song-oriented than the band’s debut, albeit in the broader sense of the word.
