Tarwater have been around a fair while and released several records. They are now on Morr after City Slang got eaten by a nasty major. The main problem I have with Tarwater now is the guy's voice which has appeared on so many records always sounds so bored. I suppose cool German deadpan is the intention but to me he sounds bored. As with most bands they are best when they write songs rather than just rely on clever programming. Therefore the opener 'Across the Dial' is a fairly neat affair with some lovely slabs of guitar. The rest of the album doesn't quite live up to it but there are some pleasant moments. For the uninitiated think guitars and squelshy synths mixed together.Be the first to review this record. Best reviewer each month gets £10 off their next order!
