Music of the Moment: After The Storm, You Find Yourself East of the Sun

Josh Hathaway: MultiTasker Extraordinaire.
Keep in mind, I’m that office idiot who can barely remember to zip his fly yet am somehow trying to edit a script and listen to music for future review simultaneously. How does he do it? Not very well, I’m afraid.
Anyroad, I listened to The Twisters’ CD, After The Storm again this afternoon. I like it. I’m beginning to form conclusions more detailed than that and am hoping to have a review up in the coming days.
Look what they’ve done to my Tuatara!
I’ve finally gotten around to listening to East of the Sun. That it took me a couple days to get around to it is actually high praise. I’ve loved Tuatara’s instrumental music — as well as Barrett Martin’s instrumental solo albums — so much that it’s taken me nearly a week to prepare myself for Tuatara records with vocals.
The good news is that I do like this record, even after only one listen. There’s a part of me that wishes they would have called this band something other than Tuatara because it’s difficult to reconcile the instrumental and the vocal sides of the band. It’s a good record and deserves an audience — I’m certainly glad to be part of that audience — but is it a Tuatara record? They say it is and that’s who counts, but it’s going to take further listens to answer that question for myself as well as to familiarize myself with the music that’s here. That’s the crucial part of the process, familiarizing myself with what’s here.
