Heureka is the sixth full-length issued by German indie rock band
Tomte. Named after a mythical creature from Northern European folklore,
Tomte were equally influenced by Brit-pop (
Oasis,
Blur) and lo-fi indie rock from America (
Pavement) as well as German band
Tocotronic, whose straightforward guitar pop contributed to creating a so-called "Hamburger scene" of independent guitar bands, of which
Tomte are considered a part.
Heureka was issued in 2008 and marked the first time the band worked with a new keyboard player.
