Tarwater is a German music duo comprising Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok. Tarwater have recorded several albums of mostly instrumental music usually tagged as post-rock.

History

Jestram and Lippok met in an East German punk rock band, and began recording together even while Lippok recorded with To Rococo Rot and Jestram worked in his Bleibeil studio. The first Tarwater album debuted with 1996's "11/6 12/10", released around the same time first album came about. Tarwater's second LP, "Silur", followed in 1998. The critical praise attendant on the latter earned Tarwater American distribution, with "Animals", "Suns & Atoms" appearing in 2000 and "Dwellers on the Threshold" in 2004. In 2005, the album "The Needle Was Traveling" appeared. It was their first album for the Morr label.
