Tara Clerkin Trio is Pat Benjamin, Sunny Joe Paradisos, and Tara Clerkin, three musicians who have been involved in several cult Bristol bands over the years before confidently settling into their current formation. They are inspired by and borrow from jazz, trip-hop, electronica, psychedelia & minimalism, twirling the non-pretentious 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 received widespread acclaim. Using looped and layered clarinet, vocals, synth, and percussion, they dream up atmospheres that are at times solemn, smoky, and beatific, making them one of the most exciting experimental pop bands around today. They have released two 12-inch records on World Of Echo.
