Tarwater, a German duo comprising Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok, have recorded several albums of distinctive, sometimes instrumental music which fuses live instrumentation with loops and samples, veering from detached indie rock songwriting to subdued textural experiments. They are frequently tagged as post-rock or indie electronic, partially because of Lippok's involvement in To Rococo Rot. First appearing in 1996 with 11|6 12|10, Tarwater earned international acclaim with 1998's Silur, which edged toward trip-hop. They continued mixing abstract indie rock with more cinematic electronic elements on further albums like Animals, Suns & Atoms (2000) and The Needle Was Travelling (2005), then issued their first soundtrack, Donne-moi la main, in 2009. Tarwater collaborated with Iggy Pop and Alva Noto for the 2016 EP Leaves of Grass, and the duo's first full-length in a decade, Nuts of Ay, appeared in 2024.
