Tara Clerkin Trio are Pat Benjamin, Sunny Joe Paradisos, and Tara Clerkin, three musicians involved in several cult Bristol bands over the years before confidently settling down in 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 was highly acclaimed. Using looped and layered clarinet, vocals, synth, and percussion, dreaming up atmospheres at times solemn, smokey, and beatific, they are one of the most exciting experimental pop bands around today. They have also released two 12inches on World Of Echo.
