TARA CLERKIN TRIO

"a holiday from life, optimism as resistance against mundanity, something extraordinary amongst the ordinary, positively grey"

Using  looped  and  layered  clarinet,  vocals,  samples,  keys  &  percussion, Tara Clerkin Trio spin you into spacy beguile. Tara Clerkin Trio are Pat Benjamin, Sunny Joe Paradisos and Tara Clerkin, three musicians involved in a number of cult Bristol bands over the years before confidently settling down in triangle formation. They are inspired by and borrow from jazz, trip hop, electronica, psychedelia & minimalism, twirling the non-pretensious strands of these threads together  into  a  trippy  green  winged-cloak,  adorning  Arthur  Russell  and dripping in blue jam.Their  self  titled  debut  LP  was  released  in  2020  and  was  a  sleeper  hit, coming in at 35 in the Wire's top 100 albums of the year and in Bleeps top 10.
