“Essentials.Vol.1” presents a curated selection of Wampums’ most valued recordings, assembled as a definitive snapshot of the project’s core sound. Rather than a conventional compilation, this release reflects a personal archive of tracks chosen for their lasting resonance and placed together as they were intended to be heard.
The collection was transferred directly from cassette tape, preserving the natural warmth, saturation, and subtle imperfections inherent to the format. This analog process lends the recordings a cohesive, intimate character, emphasizing texture and vibe over polish.
This release serves both as an entry point for new listeners and a considered retrospective for long-time followers, capturing the essence of Wampums in its most authentic form. Out now on Sealskin Records.
