Formed in 1996 in the college town of Missoula, MT, Tarkio, named for a small city in the western part of the state, featured the talents of guitarist Gibson Hartwell, bass player Louis Stein, drummer Brian Collins, pedal steel player Kevin Suggs, and singer/songwriter and future <a href="spotify:artist:7ITd48RbLVpUfheE7B86o2">Decemberist</a> <a href="spotify:artist:24Bli8eQ02qYa1gqfbg7GT">Colin Meloy</a>. The band mined similar musical territory as college rock staples <a href="spotify:artist:4HCubdy7diarb4KZo8etrq">the Go-Betweens</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5TnuP42pw475UrjjeabtwZ">the Waterboys</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4KWTAlx2RvbpseOGMEmROg">R.E.M.</a>, employing a blend of alternative country and Americanized Brit-pop that won them a small but loyal regional following. Between 1996 and 1999 they released two records, the full-length I Guess I Was Hoping for Something More and the EP Sea Songs for Landlocked Sailors, both of which were reissued on the Kill Rock Stars label as a two-disc set called Omnibus in 2006. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
