Info
Tara Clerkin Trio formed in Bristol (where none of them are from yet all of whom are deeply engrained) in 2020. Despite the singular authority implied by its name, they consist of the titular Tara Clerkin, her partner Sunny Joe Paradisos, and Sunny’s brother, Patrick Benjamin.
With two mini-albums – In Spring (2021) and On The Turning Ground (2023) – on London’s World of Echo label in the wake of their self-titled 2020 debut, their new album Somewhere Good LP is in many ways the band’s most realised work. In running their usual gauntlet of idiosyncratic approaches, Clerkin and co. colour in and outside of compositional lines over the course of 40+ minutes, never wallowing despite inherently somber subject matters of self-defeat, disease, displacement, restlessness and gentrification, allowing their arrangements and improvisations ample space and time to situate, stretch out, breathe, cross-pollinate and ultimately take deeper hold on the listener’s imagination. There are elements of avant-pop, modern classical, kraut-folk, audio verité and nods to trip hop, but Tara Clerkin Trio transcend easy categorisation.
