Tuatara is an instrumental alt-rock supergroup led by Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin. On this busman's holiday, Martin does the jack-of-all-trades thing, playing sitar, cello, piano and every kind of ethnic percussion instrument known to man, including something called a Taos thunder drum. Martin's bandmates--R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, Luna's Justin Harwood and Critters Buggin's Skerik--are nearly as eclectic.
The band creates a swirling mix of various musical traditions. Eastern influences can be heard on "The Desert Sky," with its angular sitar melody. "Goodnight La Habana" features syncopated Latin rhythms. Elsewhere, Tuatara's songs bridge the gap between ECM-ish ambient jazz, Eno-influenced "post-rock" and world music.
