Tuatara to release “The Here And The Gone”

Quirky band Tuatara, formed in 1996 by Barrett Martin, Peter Buck, and Scott McCaughey, has announced the forthcoming release of its first collaboration with esteemed poet Coleman Barks . The album is called  “The Here And The Gone” and will be released worldwide on November 18th on Fast Horse Recordings.  

Coleman Barks is apparently well known for his  book, “The Essential Rumi”, a collection of Rumi poems that changed the world consciousness on Sufi poetry. He is also Professor Emeritus at the University Of Georgia and has over 33 books published under his name. "The Here And The Gone" will be the 7th studio album for Tuatara. 

I prefer it when R.E.M. team up with william s. burroughs my self...

The album is a journey that encapsulates some well-known Rumi poems, as well as several of Coleman’s deeply insightful, often humorous original poems. This "Band of Brothers” is currently plotting select tour dates in America and Europe beginning in early 2009, a show that will certainly be one of the more exciting collaborations between these veteran musicians and a master wordsmith

Jeez, who writes this album promo propanda?
